Ready NAS Duo power light blinking

So i recently bought this Ready NAS Duo from ebay, and set it up. The shares were appearing on the network and all was fine. Then i turn it off by holding down the power button ready for the next day. The next day, i turn it on, and the power light is blinking blue, no other light is on, only the power light slowly blinking on and off.

I have tried everything, even bought new RAM. It doesnt appear in the RAIDar and doesnt appear in the network. The admin panel also doesnt load.

I have two 500gb drives in there, i have switched sides they are one when it boots up, and even tried it with no drives at all.

Any help appreciated.

So what if i just buy new drives for the NAS, and put them in. Im assuming that would work so i will just do that.

Does the front panel say "Duo" or "Duo v2"?

Did you try RAIDar with no drives inserted?

Put back the original RAM - at least for now.

  The NAS is Netgear RND2000 V2, i have tried RAIDar without any drives, and it shows up. I'm now going to put only one of the drives in and see which one works when by itself.

    Update:
    
    It doesnt work with the first WD Blue 500gb drive, and the other drive (Seagate Barracuda 500GB) also doesnt work.
    So when any one of the drives are in the slots, it does the same thing and wont appear in RAIDar.
    So now im not sure what to do.
