Oh my god thanks I didn't remerber this functionality.......................... I'm a F.... newbie... Yes it works, I'll probably change the fan for a noctua 'cause it's always a little bit noisy (for my wife ^^) but it's ok. Thank you all for your time and have a nice weekend!
FYO I've changed the PSU 'cause it broke down (THE problem of this NAS...) and I've bought this 80+ PSU : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/191320447031?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT . It works well and it have a better cooling system. If It can help someone who have this problem... :)

Try a power off and reboot again
If that fails try a OS Re-install (NOT A FACTORY RESET) using the Boot Options
See here for how to do it http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/21104
These worked for me on my PRO 4

Recommending an OS reinstall is such a bad idea when you're stuck booting. Please don't jump directly to OS reinstalling.
You might be having a disk failure. Check the front top of the chassis for a blinking disk, if possible. If you had alerts setup, find out which disk is the bad disk, you might be able to just pull that one disk out and boot normally.
Make sure you always have a backup of your data.

I didn't recommend an OS IS Re-install, I suggested another attempt at a Reboot, which if it fails "TRY" an OS Re-Install
You might be having a disk failure
ummmm do we know how many disks are installed?
Check the LCD for a blinking disk
ummm are you sure that is where to look......on the LCD?
Don't you mean a flashing LED?
Make sure you have a backup of your data.
How can you do that with a NAS that won't boot?
A bit late in the day to recommend that

Trying is the problem, don't try when you potentially have bad disks. Trying makes it harder to recover. .

Oops, the top of the front panel. I have an RND4000 right behind me, too, but I had a Pro Business in my line of sight when I wrote that. The Pro Business blinks the disk on the LCD.

This was just a general recommendation. If you store all your data on one device, you don't have a backup. Something that is highly overlooked.
