As the title says, I have a bricked TL-WR1043ND for sale.
I have used this for about 6 months and it worked great. Recently I signed up with a new internet provider that gave a wireless modem, so I didn't need to rely on the WR anymore, so I started playing.
I managed to install gargoyle and then tried to set it up as a bridge. After saving the settings I could no longer log in, so I tried to hard-reset it. Now the sys light comes on and stays on. I tried to hold the button in and telnet to it... but I couldn't figure out how to do it. It might still be possible to soft-unbrick, but I have no experience with this.
I will take the best offer for it plus shipping. It will be coming from Canada, so you can check www.canadapost.ca for a shipping estimate (use L4W 1J6 as a origin postal code and guestimate the package size). If you are in the GTA I could probably drop it off for free.
