MikroTik

I have a wAP R ac that appears to have been damaged in a recent storm.

Both ethernet ports are dead but the power/usr leds operate.

I have seen out of warranty repair manuals for other mikrotik products.

Is there a repair/troubleshooting manual for the wAP R ac?

If not, is there any info about getting console access to the mainboard?

There is hardware repair manual and manual for overvoltage checking but it is not opened for public.
Contact with your local distributor.

If you reset to defaults (press reset ~7 seconds while powering)... the Wi-Fi should appear and you can at least see how damaged it from that.

Tried. No Wi-Fi shows up.

Last firmware was 7.8. Does that change anything?

Well that doesn't seem like good news. Maybe trying netinstall, and/or using different form of power (e.g. use PoE if you were using the 5.5/2.1 jack, or vise versa).

There are pad inside, but never messed with them. If netinstall didn't work, kinda tells you getting serial port from pads may not help since it both need RouterBOOT to work.

From what I read production RouterBOOT does not have the serial console enabled for devices that have internal pads.

Netinstall would fail even if the damage was limited to the Ethernet ports. The inability to do a reset and get access to a default SSID is more telling of a complete meltdown.

I have tried a different power supply.
