ReadyNAS 314 LCD Displaying Memory Error
I have a brand new readynas 314 updated to the latests OS 6.4.2, I believe. I've only had it for no more than 1.5 days and this morning I see the LCD displaying weird characters. I couldn't access ...
Memory Error with no ability to use the boot menu appears pretty clear cut. Most likely either a problem with the memory (RAM) or the memory coming loose in shipment.
With a recent purchase if you can return it to your reseller in exchange for a new unit that would be best.
If you were seeing e.g. "Out of Memory" that would be a completely different issue and wouldn't suggest bad hardware.
The exact error message is: Memory Error. That's it. Nothing more than that.
I already tried to reset the system by following the steps and it wouldn't reset. It stays on that error message.
Hi davila917,
Have you tried booting your system in Volume Read Only mode?
Kind regards,

I cannot get to the boot menu at all. It won't get past the error message. I'm already requesting an RMA. I don't want to open the device since I bought it within a couple of weeks.
Hi davila917,
I apologize for what happened. I hope that RMA will be processed immediately and you will let us know if that fixes the issue (kindly post the ticket number from support). I am just wondering about the weird characters that you mentioned on your initial post.
Kind regards,
