ReadyNAS 102 – Blue light blinking, no boot
Hi, My NAS has been working fine untill some weeks ago. The system does not boot anymore, the powerlight keeps flashing and i hear the disk rattling but no access via Raidar. The system is visibl...
Shut down the system and try testing disk 1 in a PC with vendor tools (seatools for seagate, lifeguard for western digital).
Then power up the system (diskless) and confirm that RAIDar
- sees the system
- reports "no disks" status.
You could then try powering down the system, and booting up with only disk 2 in place.
Hi StephenB,
Thanks for the advice. I've installed lifeguard but only have a laptop, so no idea how to connect the drive to the laptop.
Tried to startup the NAS with only disk 2 in it.. same issue as with Disk 1. Power button keeps blinking..
