Thanks noreply.
As in my earlier comment, I loaded telnet.ads last night and it started to upgrade, then stuck at 60%. At the time I didn't realise that it was waiting for a Telnet connection. Still like that this morning so had no option but to power off. Now the TG and Mode light come on but nothing else.
Before that it was fine with v1.2.9.3a
Tried with different power cable in a different room - still the same.
Tried 23 and 10101 earlier but no connection. It doesn't ping either - not sure if should anyway.
OK thanks for the feedback
Try the following ...
1. Get the file tv84 provided SSA3000X_telnet.zip
2. Extract from this .zip the following file - SSA3000X_telnet.ADS
3. Get a 'clean' FAT32 formated USB (with no other files)
4. Copy the SSA3000X_telnet.ADS to the USB
What we are trying to do here is to 'boot directly from USB' the
SSA3000X_telnet.ADS file - so you will have access to telnet - then you will be able to 'fix' everything.
I have not done this myself - so not 100% sure of process
1. either the .ads file has to be 'only one' on USB - so it will boot first .ads
2. the SSA3000X_telnet.ADS needs to be renamed to special 'boot me from usb' name - if there is such a thing
3. there is a KEY sequence you need to press - to force boot from USB
I did read something on forums - explaining the above - but can't recall where
So you can try to 'read' some threads to see how to force boot from USB
At least you now know what needs to be done - we need to 'boot' the SSA3000X_telnet.ADS directly from the USB drive - so you can regain access to telnet.
It looks like you must have corrupted the internal flash when you 'pulled the power' as it was waiting for you to start your telnet client
Your SSA should be fine - once you can restore from backup - then you can start again - but with the knowledge you have now - without any problems

OR
Perhaps someone will chime-in with some specific instructions on directly booting from USB .ADS file
