Hi @Ghadamsi82 ,

 

Is the 'power' light or the 'status' light that is flashing green? Status light flashing green means that the FortiGate is booting up.

Have you tried to connect the FortiGate to console (see link below) and then reboot it? Do you see any message on the console output after the reboot (or disconnect/reconnect power)?

    Hi @Ghadamsi82 ,

     

    Thank you for checking it. We should see at least some message appearing on the console, at this point the problem should be the power supply as suggested by FortiMax_it.

      Hi, it's almost certainly the power supply that's broken. Get a new one, I'm pretty sure it will start again. It happened every now and then with the D series Fortigates.
