ReadyNAS 102 not showing on my network and the disks leds are not on
i have four ReadyNAS 102 on my network. Two of them suddenly disappeared from the network completely when I look at the devices i can see the Act LED on But the Disks 1 and 2 LEDS are off. I cant ...
Corrupted flash, which might be cured by a USB recovery, is still a possibility. But that it happened on two units doesn't point me to that straight off. Do you know if both actually went off-air at the same time, or were they just noticed within a small timeframe?
Did anything odd, like a power surge or local lightning strike, occur in the facility? Are the NAS protected by UPS? Do any share the same UPS?
I am even trying to use the bootmenu to perform an os reinstall or a factory reset.
I can access the bootmenu fine.
but when i make a selection the power button blinks for like 10 seconds and then nothing happens after that.
Thank you for trying to help Sandshark.
Just to clarify - did you see the NAS on the network when you removed the drives and powered it up? RAIDar is one way to check: https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar
Also, did you check the ethernet LED on the NAS and on the router?

Note you can't do either option without the disks installed.
There are two possibilities here:
- One or both disks have failed.
- The NAS chassis is broken (disk controller, the network interface, etc).
The NAS hardware isn't repairable. The warranty is 3 years for the original purchaser, so you should check the warranty status.
In some cases, the NAS can be brought back to life with a USB recovery. Sometimes replacing the power brick resolves it (requiring a risk-buy of a replacement adapter). But it'd be helpful to get some more information before trying either of those.
If you have a Windows PC you can connect the disks to it, and test them with vendor tools (Seatools for Seagate, Lifeguard for Western Digital). You can connect them either with SATA or a USB adapter/dock. If you have a spare disk, you could try doing a factory reset with that disk installed. Of course anything on it will be lost.
