D-Link DI-624 Doesn't work.

Hey I could use some help here.
I have a D-Link DI-624 Router, rev C, So far, the power, Status,
WLAN LEDs doesn't light up. However WAN, Local Network 1-4 light u,
and stay on. They are lit if there is something plugged in, or
nothing. I can't get any access to the setup page, reset doesn't do
anything. Laptop can't detect it, and when desktop is plugged into it,
I have no network connection. I can't remember what firmware I have on
it anymore, because I had it in storage for several months now, and
now I brought it out, after I got a laptop. It did work for a bit,
then after I plugged the PC in, it went to hell from there. Any help
please?

I had a DLink AP do exactly that after a power flick during a storm.
The WLAN LEDs (802.11a/bg) (and power, IIRC) stopped illuminating, but
everything else was still lit. Reset didn't work on it either.
I thought it was toast, but was able to fix it. The firmware simply
became corrupted during the power flicker. When I hooked it up to a
computer directly, it gave me a page saying that firmware was
corrupted and an option to update the firmware.

Are you setting up a static IP on your laptop before you connect it?
Set up something like IP 192.168.0.100 , Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 ,
and then try connecting to it at 192.168.0.1
If it is just corrupted firmware, you should get a page saying that
the firmware is corrupted and also a means to upload new firmware from
your laptop.

Try connecting the laptop to both the WAN and one (all, if need be)
LAN ports. I forget which I had to use. (I think it was actually one
of the LAN ports that I did have success with.)

If that doesn't work, then it is probably toast...

how do I grand reset? Is that when I plug it in with the reset
pressed?

Some are different, but figure you need to unplug or disconnect the
power, then press and hold down the reset button for 10 to ? seconds.
