Readynas RND-6a doesn't boot
I got this NAS used and so am unsure as to how it works. The model is Readynas rnd-6a. When I power it on the fans spin up and "ReadyNAS" displays on the LCD but that is all. I assume it doesn't ...
For those who might be asking similar questions one day. There was no solution. Unfortunately, such an issue is in "buy a new NAS" territory.
Hmmm odd it just says "ReadyNAS" and it doesn't show up on my router either. Do you think it's failing to boot?
Yes, it sounds like it is failing to boot.
Can you get to the boot menu? Instructions are on pages 28-29 here:

I purchased it from a closing business that was recycling their old tech.
It is old tech - Netgear discontinued this NAS back in 2013. That said, they are well built, and I am still using a Pro-6 of similar age as a backup.
If you do get it working, get back to us. It is possible to convert it to run newer firmware, and we can give instructions on that.
