NV+ SODIMM failed after RAIDiator 4.1.13 [SOLVED]
Update 01/21/2014 -- replacing the SODIMM in the NV+ appears to have solved this problem. No idea why the memory failed shortly after the upgrade to 4.1.13, other than coincidence, Murphy's Law . . . ...
Yes, the unit is off. The power cord is not plugged in. Since I wasn't clear earlier, here's more info:
1. The LCD does not light up.
2. When I plug the power cord into the ReadyNAS, no Ethernet cable is attached. The fan goes on full speed when the cord is plugged in.
3. I tried the USB Boot recovery, but since the LCD is unlit and blank I relied on LED pattern — in other words, no status messages display on the LCD
4. With the reset button pressed before and after plugging the power cord, the ReadyNAS goes through the four drive LED flash sequence twice, then LED 2 and 4 light up and the unit becomes unresponsive
5. I removed the four drives in hopes of preserving the data on them; I've been trying to recover the firmware using a single 1TB Seagate drive (yes, it's on the compatibility list)
6. I don't have the original 256MB memory, but I've ordered a Crucial 1GB SODIMM that worked well in a different NV+ as a way to test whether the memory is bad.
Finally, just for context, the ReadyNAS is owned by a local nonprofit. I'm a volunteer trying to help them recover.
