The blue power LED is still blinking? Do you have disks installed? If so, can you access the boot menu if you attempt to boot with no disks installed?

Tried with no disks installed and with a disk installed.
Same sequence of lights on the front. I should maybe point out that the disk 1 light LED blinks once extremely briefly before disk 2 LED comes on, it's hardly perceptable and not long enough for me to surmise that it's a deliberate act.

This is the only pattern that has ever appeared. Raidar cannot see it , neither can the network switch.

I had previously looked at the simm and it appeared fine, however just for good measure I've removed and re-installed it.

The seller only claims that lights came on when he powered it up, he claims to have been unable to test it further.


I'm guessing that I'll not be able to call tech support for assistance on the basis that this is a second user item, and also I can't get into it to register, is my thinking correct here? However as we do have quite a few other readynas products purchased from new and also sell them would that go in my favour perhaps?
