- Is your 4200 still under hardware warranty? Actually replacing the flash is most likely going to be impossible (or very very hard).
- Hi, thanks to answer me, but the warranty was finish. I don't know what i can do.
- Are you actually sure that the flash card is physically dead? Or do you "just" have boot issue?
How did you determine that? The OS runs from the HDDs, not from the flash. The flash contains the firmware for when you Factory Default the NAS and the boot menu.

The flash contains the firmware for when you Factory Default the NAS and the boot menu.Try removing all the disks (labeling by slot) and installing a blank (unformatted) drive in slot 1. Then power on the NAS and see if it does a factory install.
