Hi guys,

 

I just wanna ask help how to reset my fortigate 40C. It boot failed when I console it, then when I tried to format the boot device and load a new firmware via tftp it doesn't work.. Anyone can diagnose what's the problem, is it already a hardware failure/problem? I attached boot logs as reference... Thank you in advance...

 

Regards,

JAM

    It looks like you need to format and load an image via TFTP.

     

    That being said, the 40C is ancient. Get you a newer device that isn't way beyond EOL and enjoy.

    Hi Mike,

     

    Thanks for the reply.

    anyway, I already load a new image via tftp (see attached screenshot error). Its my first time to see that error, I already load tons of fortigate image via tftp and it works fine.. 

     

    Yeah your right, 40C I think face out already.. but recently we renew a 2 years license. Is it possible to get a new device then use/transfer our current license?

    Hi,

     

    Did you perform a HQIP (Hardware Quick Inspection Package)-test? According to <http://wiki.diagnose.fortinet.com/index.php/Running_an_HQIP_(Hardware_Quick_Inspection_Package)_test> HQIP supports the FG-40C.
