RN104 Unexpected ReBoot
Hello Community.
I have a RN104 for several years and so far no issues until yesterday. For some unknow reason, it re-booted it's self. I have downloaded the logs and viewed some of the entries, ...
Looking further... in the systemd-journal.log I found the following:

In fact, I found sever of the messages for "Power Key pressed". How or what is causing this? Do I have a bad power button? Some internal OS error causing this issue? There was no one around this day to push any button. The other times are:

Anyone know why this might have happened?
I doubt it's the button itself, but it does sound like something in the power on/off circuitry. The Power on/off (together with the LAN interface) use a separate power called +5VSB (5 volt standby), which coiuld also be the issue. Unfortunately, on the units with external supplies, there isn't much you can do about it except replace the NAS.
