Blinking blue power led after update to 6.6.0

Hi there,

 

I am hoping someone will be able to assist me. I logged onto the web gui and was prompted to update the firmware to 6.6.0. I do so, and the nas drive now sits there with the blue led flashing and the drive 1 & 2 led solid.

 

I can boot into the boot menu and I have tried an os reinstall and a volume read only, both to no avail.

 

Is there anything that can be done or is it now kaput?

 

Thank you

    Which firmware did you update from?

     

    Can you try putting 6.6.1 Beta on using USB Boot Recovery?

        Hi christjcom,

         

        What ReadyNAS model are you using?

         

        Can you still set the ReadyNAS to tech-support?

         

        You can do this by going in the boot menu of your NAS and selecting tech support.

         

        Please check the link below and look for the model number of your ReadyNAS for the guide.

         

        ReadyNAS & ReadyDATA: Boot Menu

         

        If you can still set it to tech support, there might be a chance that our support group can remotely login to check and hopefully fix the ReadyNAS. If you are within the 90-day support then its best that you call them, if not you can avail of a contract or maybe a per-incident support.

  • Mdgm Is great he will give you as much support as you need. 

     

    Unfortunatly my Nas looks to have died so he is arranging an RMA for me.
