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...

I removed all of the discs to see if it will boot, no luck. Still just the blinking blue power light.

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?

  Not sure. Can you see what RAIDar says (w/o disks)?
  
  I'm guessing that a USB recovery might be the next step, but maybe JohnCM_S or Marc_V will have another suggestion.

    RAIDar doesn’t see the NAS at all. Suggestions on how to proceed?
