VR2800 bricked - no ethernet

Wondering if anyone can help here please.
VR2800 was setup and working. Using ethernet for all important connections. Even my ALG server worked (get me). Wifi was not 100% reliable but didn't matter.
Upgraded to (I think) v 0.7 firmware - that appeared to go okay, left all working. Then I noticed some wifi issues (AP disappearing) and difficulty in using the web gui on a android phone (previously used the computer on the interface okay).
The router was working (in that it served all devices internet) but I discovered that nothing could use the web gui and in fact port 80 had disappeared.
A day later (nothing changed) a power down didn't help so I've hard reset the VR2800 expecting a rebuild of all my parameters but the router does nothing.
I'm left with a box that starts, flashes the power led for ~5secs, the flashes all the leds for ~2secs and sit in that cycle.
Thinking I need to unbrick it (looked it all up on the web) I set about doing that with Tftp64 only to find all the ethernet ports are inactive. I don't seem to be able to talk to it.
Is there a way forward ?
