Ready NAS Duo won't reboot
My ReadyNAS Duo won't. I fear that a power outage is the cause of the issue. I press the power button to start it and the fan starts and blows continuously. Blue power light is pulsing/flashing continuously on/off every (approx) 1 second. Not visible on my network. All I can do to get it to respond is to pull out the power supply.
- Stephen, thanks for your assistance. I had two drives in the box and tried them one at a time. It has booted with one of them. I'll try and get the failed one reformatted and reinstalled as a redundant drive.

Try removing the disks (powered down), and then start up. Then see if RAIDar can see the NAS (with a "no disks" status).

Stephen,
Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for my slow response. Have been away. RAIDar installed, disks removed and started up. RAIDar does see the box and status is "no disks detected". Fan has continued to blow for the last 5 minutes.
