The LED 1 and 3 on with power LED off means that boot loader failed to locate valid boot image. There are two possible reasons: One is that boot image is indeed corrupted which can be recovered by USB/TFTP recovery(common). The other is that boot loader itself malfunction(uncommon). In your case, it looks like boot loader is not working properly(power button is not properly detected) which is likely due to memory interface. You may try to re-seat SODIMM module or try a known good DDR2 SODIMM.

This evening, when I attempted to turn it back on, it went directly to
1,3 green LED on, 2,4,act,power off and no LCD panel information. The ReadyNAS light language doc for the NV suggests that this means the device needs a restore from TFTP or USB.
I've attempted a USB restore, but when I hold the power button lights 1-4 don't flash, and it just falls to the same status light. It does not start a USB restore.
I could use a little help here...
