The only way to fix it would be to replace the firmware PROM. Even that might not be enough. It's certainly possible that problem is caused by corrupted power-on firmware, but since that firmware is able to get as far as detecting a corrupted download image and flashing the LED it can't be completely scrambled. It's possible that the reason it can't being up the Ethernet is that the unit's network interface has also been damaged. If the unit is still under warranty then you should be able to get it replaced, otherwise it's time to buy a new one. Ebay is a good place to look if you need a 150.
