    That is a really old device. I would probably suggest buying new. If that isn't possible, considering the age it may be a hardware fault.

     

    Were changes made that caused it to go from working to not working?

    It looks like it's not booting the firmware - flash crashed or fw damaged somehow. You can try to reload the firmware from the boot monitor; on the console, hit any key when booting to get into the menu. You will need a matching firmware image file (*.out) and a TFTP server, the serial connection to watch and a TP cable for the data. Older FGTs required a LAN connection on port1 only - YMMV.
