Frozen ReadyNas 316
I have a readynas 316 with 6 - 6TB drives. everything was running fine until a few weeks ago. I lost network connectivity. When I tried using the front panel to restart the device, it did not work. I used the power button to cycle the device. It came back up and appeared to be working fine. I used the application to check for updates, but none were needed. I used the application to cycle the device and everything came back without issue. Two weeks later it happened again. This time I was not lucky. I followed the same steps listed above with the exception of it did not come back up. The attached image is how it is frozen. I removed my drives, and inserted a drive I could afford to play with, and tried doing a factory restore and a USB boot. Neither of these worked. Any suggestions?

Does RAIDar show the NAS at all? One possibility here is the power supply, but it's a bit early to jump to that conclusion. It's not an issue I've seen with the 300 or 500 series supply, but they are getting older.
Nothing shows in RAIDAR, my router, or any type of network connectivity that I have tried.
I got nothing. I have done it several times with no success.
