Did you put a drive in it? That should have been the first step. The NAS will not fully boot up unless there is at least one drive installed.
Also, try downloading RAIDar from http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20684/ and see if that detects the 1100.
Doing a USB recovery so quickly was not a good idea, as that is a method of last resort.
EDIT - though I guess a fixing the broken power switch would now be the first step. Hopefully one of the Jedi here could offer advice on that.
