1000 blinking blue light - reset
I have an older ReadyNAS 1000 unit which I have been using only as a backup destination for home folders on another ReadyNAS box. We had to power all equipment off yesterday for some electrical work...
How to interpret the LED codes is here: ReadyNAS-LED.pdf . Power button alone fast blinking is Normal BIOS boot, this stage should not last for longer than 30 seconds. Otherwise, try re-seat SODIMM or replace SODIMM. If it still does not work, perform NAND recovery. If NAND recovery does not go through or does not solve problem, PSU is in question.
NAND recovery is another term for a USB recovery, which is likely what you need.

Sandshark, Thank you for the quick response. Yes, the blinking lasted over night so is more than just the usual boot up. I'll try to reseat the SODIMM and depending on how that goes move on to NAND recovery. Will check back after I've had chance to work on this. Take care.
I have not had a chance to try Sandshark's suggestion yet as I have other deadlines. I'll come back with another reply when I (finally) get back to this. Thank you
