Let the record show that I’m holding back the urge to make a sarcastic 
“intuitive” comment.

Here is the dump from an AP with a corrupt boot loader after software

you get no link light, but from cli you see that power is negotiated and drawn

You may not get link/activity until the AP's interface comes up, but the AP may 
still be requesting power and booting. I'd get one attached to a console cable 
and see what happens. If you're using a Cisco switch, the "show power inline" 
command will tell you if power is being supplied/requested.

    POE switch (non cisco). We did take some of the failed units and plugged 
them into a Cisco POE switch to rule out a switch issue.

    We did not check the console port of the AP, but the port on the switch was 
not lighting up either.

    I’ve got a metric ton of 3800’s and 2800’s spanning FCS (first customer 
ship) to less than a month old and have had zero failures.



    I agree with one of the other posters that even with no lights displayed, 
there can be action on the console port.



    Was the initial failure when connected to a POE switch or using an 
injector? Cisco switches/injectors or third-party?

    Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco AP2800 failure rate



    Is anyone else seeing a high rate of Cisco AP 2800 failures? Out of a batch 
of ~500 recently installed Aps, we have had roughly 70 fail. Some were online 
for a month, but some only a few days.

    Typically they will fail after a powercycle or loss of power.
    We are working with Cisco on this, but I’m curious if this is a more wide 
spread problem.
