Dreaded Blinking Power Light
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ that has worked well since I purchased it some number of years ago. I recently switched had to reset my internet modem, which in turn forced me to shutdown/restart many devices in my home in order to reach them (I can't explain why). I used Raidar to shutdown and reboot my NAS and now I have the dreaded blinking blue light and a simple message on my screen, "Please wait...."
I have removed each disc one-by-one to see if it will boot, no luck. I removed all of the discs to see if it will boot, no luck. Still just the blinking blue power light.
This may have been addressed in previous posts someplace, but not seeing my problem that I can't even boot with no discs in the NAS.
Hoping some kind people will help me please. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Steve

Is it still saying "please wait" with no disks? Or is it saying "no disks" on the LCD?
- It’s saying “Please wait...” on the LCD even when I have removed all the disks. What does that mean?

I'm guessing that a USB recovery might be the next step, but maybe JohnCM_S or Marc_V will have another suggestion.
