6.10.3 bricked two RN516 units
Recently, we upgraded the firmware on our thwo ReadyNAS 516s to 6.10.3. We used the automatic update (prompted on login), and updated from 6.10.2. The NAS rebooted and worked fine until a couple days...
What apps were you running on the two NAS?
Try removing all the disks from one NAS (labeling by slot). When you power it up, do you see a "no disks" status on the LCD?
FWIW, I think USB recovery is the right step here. The system can be fussy about what USB drives it will accept. Generally smaller/older ones work better.
Ideally, use a USB drive with an access LED so you will know if it's even being accessed.
While the legacy NAS are quite particular about the USB drive used, I've found the newer ones (and that includes my 516) to be less so, though a USB3 drive will typically give problems.
Exact same problem on a RN316.
USB recovery worked perfectly.
Thanks
