Try removing all the disks, and labeling the by slot. Then power on, and see if the NAS lights up and gives you a no-disks status.
If it doesn't then check your warranty status. If you are the original purchaser (getting it new from an authorized reseller), then the NAS should still be covered by the hardware warranty - which is 5 years, and the RN428 was launched 4 years ago.
If you are covered, you can request an RMA (a replacement NAS) via support.netgear.com. If you never registered the NAS there, then do that first. Also, upload a scan of the receipt, so there is a proof of purchase on file there.
