readynas 312 backup light on constantly

Power issue in the building, NAS restarted but does not boot. Fan, power light and backup light on constantly.  Removed the hard drives, power on and everything is the same.  Can't access via browser and not seen by Raidar. the reset button, on the rear does nothing.

The hard drives are removed for data retrieval as the backups are out of date, the NAS reported backup in progress but they did not happen. System also reported when the backup devices were removed and replaced.

I tried to create an os6 recovery usb but the image file not listed although it's in the same directory as the creation program.

Any ideas anyone

  • Did you try using RAIDar with the NAS powered up, but no disks installed?

    Which is not where it belongs.  It should be in the X86 folder.
