Recently i bought a wnr3500l model and put DD-WRT v24(mini) on it which worked fine till last night when a power fail (i  wish to believe this) or maybe a succesful break-in attack put the router 'down'. I tried to reset it a couple of times.. nothing new. I mention that the power led stays orange and that wireless won't start and if i try to acces is through lan cable ,dhcp is not working ; the manual tries same thing.

Anybody have any suggestions? (besides the debricking tutorial using serial-to-usb cable which i can't find at this stage) .

Has anyone encountered this behaviour till now?
