DSL-AC68U DSL led not flashing (Fixed with hair dryer!)

[denoo9]

I am trying to fix this issue for like 2 days.
I was on latest firmware, and i tried to upload merlin onto it, and then it said NVRAM full, so I did factory reset so i reset the NVRAM, trying to upload back firmware and it says Upload DSL firmware, then I try to upload other firmware, finally it doesnt say that error but still no synchronization or LED blinking, like its dead.
how to get it to work? thanks

What other firmware? The DSL-AC68U firmware is all in one file, in two flavours. I believe you may have flashed the dsl firmware followed by the non-dsl firmware. The non-dsl firmware is for those that don't use the modem. Flash the dsl firmware once more, reset, and use the router as normal.
