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 ju...

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?
Yes RAIDar was finding it before the issue. The blinks are 3 fast of the blue power LED the activity light as well as 1 and 2 disk all at once. This occurs exactly every 10 seconds. In between the 10 seconds the disk 1 light flickers on and off constantly.
3 blinks occur with disks in or out. I have even swapped for 2 new disks and tried to factory reset but keep getting the 3 blinks every 10 seconds. This is really frustrating.
ethernet light is on but not blinking. Fan stays on full speed always. Its almost as if the NAS OS cant boot in my opinion.
ne more thing I have also tried reseating the RAM as that was a recommendation I read somewhere.

Agreed. I was wondering if you'd get the blinking code for "bad flash", but you apparently didn't.
It's possible that there is an issue with the poewr brick (though I think it's a long shot). Still, you might consider doing a risk-buy of a compatible replacement.
You know what I was thinking the very same about the power. I may have an alternate power supply here to try. I will let you know.
