NV+ not going into the boot options
Is there any known tricks for getting an NV+ into the boot menu? I'm trying to do a USB os install due to an OS Index error but maybe once in every 100+ tries the NAS won't go into the boot menu. I...
- This morning I fired up the NAS and it did go into the boot menu but this time the LCD was dark and letting go of the power switch had no effect. It just kept cycling though the options (all disk LEDs blink every 5 secs). I tried a few more times and back to the old issue of not going into boot options.
I'm officially calling this NAS dead. đ. Even if I recovered it, there would be no confidence in it lasting long so it's just not worth it.
Thanks for the help though, I really appreciate it. Time to start looking for a new one.

Dear Howie777 when a unit doesn't function the way it is designed for and you see erratic behavier then its either a logic board fault and or psu issue. Sme of the answers given are not forwarding you any solutions. Find a program to recover the data in raid sequence ,making sure you try the exact order the drives were placed in the nas. When a client complains it means its serious. Then purchase a new unit
Painkiller, OP did not ask how to get data off the disks, he asked how to get his nas working again. In order to come up with a solution to this one needs to diagnose the problem first.

its possible you may be able to get a new psu.

And some are still covered by the 5 year warranty, so if you are the original purchaser you might also want to check the warranty status.
