[Fixed] Another NV+ that doesn't boot anymore
Hi Guys,
I have a NV+ which was working fine upto now. When I power it up the power button flashes rapidly for a few seconds after which led 1 & 3 light up. After looking what that might mean I tried a few thing:
1. Opened the NV+ up, cleared some dust, removed the memory and replaced it, no results
2. Made an USB recovery stick but it doesn't get activated as it seems the NV+ won't react to the power button. Keeping it pressed while starting up doesn't give me the menu options I would expect.
The only thing that makes the power button react differently is using the reset button on the backside, when I use that I see the 5 second and 30 second flash of the 4 leds but after releasing the reset button I always return to the 1 & 3 situation.
I guess my boot loader is broken in some way, any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thank you!

- Perhaps try a different memory module, one that closely matches both the specs and physical layout of the stock module.
- Does the LCD show anything at all ?
- No the LCD stays off all the time. Does that tell you something?
I am trying to get my hands on replacement memory, might take a few days before I get one. - The new strip of memory did fix my problem, Readynas NV+ up and running again!
Thank you guys for your help!
