Does not Boot
Hello,
I have two Netgear ReadyNAS 2100, and I tried to do a firmware update to the device, but after it was done and rebooted, nothing happened
I unpluged and waited a bit and tried again to reboot, nothing if just sits and looks at me.
I used the boot menu and tried to do a factory reset and nothing, I also tried to rebuild the OS bu the boot menu and again nothing.
I just leave the device and it looks like nothing is happening to it at all, I cant see it on my network, and i used the netgear to set it up and it cannot find it.
Do you think i have killed it?
Thanks
Andrew

Try powering down and removing the disks (labeling by slot, so you know where they belong).
Then power up, and see if the NAS shows up on your network. RAIDar should also find it, and report a "no disks" status. https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar
What did you try to update to? I hoipe it wasn't OS6. The 2100 (V1) can't be updated to OS6. If you did try going to OS6, you may well have bricked the NAS. But you could try a USB recovery to the proper OS.
Hi,
Yes i was trying to get to os 6
I was using the following lsite guide to do it

I think it is bricked as well
