Netgear ReadyNAS RNDU4000 Reports Channel 2 not available
Disk status telling me that Channel 2 is missing.
Swapping around the disks does not move the issie so its not the disk itself.
Disk on Channel 2 powersup and spins up but nothing more.
What can be done? Repairable somehow?
System Log:
"One or more volumes are unprotected due to a missing or failed disk. Please replace the disk in order to run in redundant/protected mode."
I fixed it!
Took it all apart and resoldered the SATA-port on channel 2. Reassembled and now it works!
Port was tweaked a little bit. Might have been me but could also been someone else. I bought it used.
But isnt it supposed to have a fan at the power supply? There was no fan in there. It had a empty slot for a fan.
Has someone removed it? The only fan is the big one for the disks.

Yeah, i really dont know what it is.
Maybe there is a deeper log to access? That can show whats going on?
The number 2 LED is not lit up on the front only 1 3 4.
Disk has power and starts up. Really strange that disk is not recognized.
Is it a bad capacitor, resistor or something? Or a microchip?
If the SATA-connector is bad, i can replace it. But i dont think that connector itself is bad. There must be something else.
Are there anything else i can try?
