HELP with TFTP recovery on NV+ v1
My NV+ has been playing up. I have nothing on the discs,so no worries there.
I had power supply issues, which I resolved - dry joints in the SATA backplane! Having resolved PSU these issues, I'm gutted to find that all the up & down has messed it up.
It has left the internal NAND storage in the unit corrupted.
The NAS LCD status screen remains blank throughout all this. All i get are error codes via the drive lights.
When I turn on I get LEDs 1, 2 & 4, which points to NAND corruption. Then regardless of what reset steps I follow, I end up at LEDs 2 and 4, which I think indicates an attempted TFTP boot.
I cannot get the unit to do a USB recovery.
I cannot find any instructions on how to execute a TFTP boot. I also don't know what files need to be presented, or where to get them. The USB images and the 'firmware' update files clearly aren't the right ones.
I've installed a simple TFTP server on my laptop, and directly connected my laptop to the Readynas, setting 192.168.125.1 as my laptop IP address. I see no 'activity' in the TFTPD64 window.
This is really low-level borked, and I need some pro help to reload the firmware.
Can anyone help me with TFTP files and instructions for NV+ v1? thanks
Saw another forum post last night on an unrelated topic, where someone was getting the LED codes for bad NAND/TFTP boot, and it turned out to be the RAM.
Pulled the RAM, bent it about a bit, cleaned it off. Put it back in. Booting fine. Very very odd.
