ReadyNAS Ultra 6 doesn't boot - Stuck on "ReadyNAS" prompt screen
I just got me a Nasready ultra 6 from a mate, booted nice when he showed it to me and everything worked, but when i booted it at home I got stuck on the Readynas logo, I cant access boot menu, tried ...
Have you checked to see if the memory is properly seated? Just thinking it might have shifted in transport.
It could also be a failed power supply.
I also suggest downloading RAIDar and seeing if that can find the NAS.
Yeah everything looks nice, even took it out and back.
My thought is that when we started it the first time it might have started updating or something and when we turned it of something happend.
Raidar cant see it, cant find it on network cause it's stuck on boot...
When I read about it I found many who have the same issue, VPD file was currupt.
If all you did was transport the unit (no OS update), then it's unlikely the vpd file somehow became corrupted. A hardware issue is more likely and, since you've checked the RAM, the next suspect is the power supply. The power supply puts out multiple voltages and all the NAS needs to display "ReadyNAS" is the 5V, and that doesn't even need to be very well regulated.
If you have a "spare" ATX12V power supply (could be one you "borrow" from a PC), you can use it external to the NAS in place of the internal one just to see if that fixes it. The power supply is a usual candidate for this problem given the age of the unit, and is fortunately one of the few components with a generic replacement available.
You can do the "paper clip test" of the power supply if you like (Google it) and you have a voltmeter, but it's very unreliable to test a power supply under no load.
When we first started it up at my mates house it worked like I said fine, but it havent been used for a long time so my thoughts are that it started an update and something went wrong when I turned it off...
And had a nice package for the nas during the ride here so nothing could have happend.
Did check with a other atx and nothing new, still only readynas symbol at startup đ
just feels insane to make a product that cant be restored if something wrong happends.
