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.

Did you get to the boot menu? Or was that not possible?

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.

    Since the 3 16 does have an HDMI port, I suggest you hook up a monitor and see if you see any clues during boot. Mostly, see if it's even getting past POST.

I got nothing. I have done it several times with no success.
