RNDU6000 doesn't boot - Stuck on "ReadyNAS" prompt screen
Dear all,
My ReadyNAS Ultra 6 doesn't boot anymore, both with and without the disks inserted in their slots.
No special soft or hardware update action was going on.
Sometimes things restart...
Considering the PSU is working as well as the hard drives, and nothing looks broken or burnt I assume my issue can be electronic only and no repair is possible, neither spare part available on internet. So I will stop investigations here and just replace my NAS.
By the way, as I cannot recover any data, I will migrate to Synology as I'm not an IT guy and the Netgear interface has been a nightmare for me when Synology is famous for the friendly interface.
Thank you for your help, at least I'm now sure I didn't miss anything I could repair before breaking my piggy bank.
This article incoudes the VGA pin-put.https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/csc/people/computingstaff/jaroslaw_zachwieja/readynaspro-jailfix/. But you might want to look a little harder. Do you have a dealer that carries used equipment? The cable often comes on a bracket for mounting in an unused slot location ot the rear of the PC, as they are primarilly used for the second VGA connector on some (mostly older) video cards. eBay is full of them from China, but I don't know cost and time to ship to you.
Yes, dead motherboard meand dead NAS. Netgear has never sold spare NAS parts to users.
