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

Try the USB recovery, it might get you back.
OS-6 requires a 64 bit x86 processor, and unfortunately several legacy 4.2.x NAS only had 32 bit processors. They can't be converted.
Hi,
Yes i tried this, nothing, that tool cannot see the device
