Netgear ReadyNAS duo Fails to boot/Blinking blue light
I have two of the Netgear ReadyNas's both fail to boot all the lights blink, I checked netgear's forum they told me how to check the error but it can't be a disk error on both/faulty disk. I tried holding in the resetting button but it does nothing, same with the backup button. And it wont be discovered on the RAIDar, Yes I have tried putting in other disks, but it does nothing. Would appreciate some help.

The normal LED codes for 2-bay ReadyNAS are
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 - Vendor mismatch
2 - No disks detected
3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configurationNo disks detected seems to be indicated, but I'm not sure on why only one disk led is blinking during the slow blinks.
Are you seeing the same LED pattern when you power up with no disks installed?
Are you sharing the same power adapter with both NAS, or is each using its own adapter?
I have number 2 but it says the same on both of the nas's even without the disks, and nope doesn't display no disks in RAIDar
