RND 4000 will not boot RMA 1076365
Hi Everyone,
My original NV+ died a couple of weeks ago. Would not boot but fan still ran. Tried OS reinstalls to no aveil. Recieved a replacement and followed instructions to migrate disks. Unit ran for 24 hours and died. Same symptoms. No LED activity but fan still ran.
Recieved my 3rd unit this morning. Powered it on with no disks and it booted fine until the LCD screen on the front displayed no disks. Appeared on RAIDAR. Powered it on with my 3 x 2TB disks and it works for about a second then died.
Any ideas? Could a bad hard disk pull the NAS down? How can I test the hard drives? Is there some way I can test the power supply?
Cheers

- That may/may not work, I would suggest seeking advice from tech support before trying something like that.
If you do try it monitor the NAS in RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads). If when you click setup your are taken to a dialog box to choose RAID modes (rather than to Frontview) power down the NAS immediately, disconnecting the power if need be. - After a lengthy phonecall with tech support they suggested I do the following:
Power up the nas
put the first hard drive into bay 1 and wait for it to sync
Do the same for drives 2 and 3.
After this process the NAS did come online with no issues. Must have just been a couple of dubious replacements I got from Netgear.
Anyway thanks a lot for your help guys. Hopefully we dont have any more issues - With those instructions I assume you had a good backup?
