NV power button failure?
I have been unable to turn OFF my ReadyNAS NV.
Symptoms:
- All four drive lights and the power button light are on steady.
- The activity light flashes once each three seconds or so, even with the network cable disconnected.
- When connected, the router lights at the network cable connection indicate intermittent activity.
- RAIDar (ver 4.3.8) does not detect the NAS.
- Pressing the power button momentarily, and then for increasingly long periods (longest more than 20 seconds) produces no results.
Questions:
1. Is there a history of failure of the power button that produces these symptions?
2. What are the consequences of simply disconnecting the power cord?
3. Is there any other way I can attempt to connect using RAIDar?

- The router (Linksys EA3500) does not list the NV in its DHCP Client Table. I tried the IP address it was assigned a few months ago, result was 100% packet loss.
