Has a real answer ever been found to this problem? I see questions/answers going back to 2009 but none seem to answer my problem:- I press and hold the START button waiting for the lights to flash - they never do! I can hold the button until my finger gets very sore and still the lights don't flash!!
I have had my ReadyNAS for mant years, it works perfectly. Its about 80% full and tends to stay at that point, once a month I 'prune' the data stored and move old and unused stuff to DVD. But I would love to be able to switch the thing OFF without just pulling the plug. Help would be MUCH appreciated, I'm no geek so words of one sylable are the best, but I'll try to follow any instructions to sort this out.

I haven't tried powering down with the power switch for quite a while. Usually I shut it down from frontview - is that an option for you?
