ReadyNAS Duo V1 just sits there with the fan full pelt after power cuts
Hi all hoping you can help me. I recently (6 months ago) dusted off this NAS and loaded it up with 2 disks. It was working flawlessly up until last week where after a series of power cuts it now just keeps the fan on full speed when starting along with flashing all the lights 3 times every 10 seconds. I have tried a factory reset with the PIN in the back for 25 seconds but this does nothing. Is this device bricked? I hope not as its was running well up until this point.
PS RAIDAR doesnt see it either.

Try powering down, and removing the disks (label by slot, so you know which is which).
Then power up, and see if RAIDar finds it (reporting a no disks status).
Gave this a go and kept scanning for 30 mins plus and nothing 😞

Did RAIDar find it before the power problem?
Are you seeing a blinking light pattern on the LEDs?
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code. Current error codes: 1 - Vendor mismatch 2 - No disks detected 3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks 4 - Flash error 5 - Unsupported RAID configurationAlso, is the ethernet LED lit on the back of the NAS?
