ReadyNAS 600 - stuck booting (SOLVED)

My ReadyNAS 600 Rev A is stuck booting, all drives show up as green in RAIDar, no yellow lights in the front. Power light(blue) blinking every 4. I left it on for 14 hours and it got no where. This problem happened after using the FrontView firmware update, no power inturreptions system emailed me telling me to reboot it. I did and it hasn't finished booting since.

Thread update: Was requested to do Memory Test, which failed with drive lights 1-2 solid green. Meaning DIMM Fails memory access test, re-seat DIMM or replace DIMM.

Thread update(2015-03-23 02:00 PM EST): New memory arrived, running test now will update with results.

Thread update(2015-03-23 03:16 PM EST):Lights came back 1 & 3 Green, Meaning Boot loader fails to locate valid RAIDiator image, raw-write CF shall solve the problem, otherwise CF socket and DIMM are in question.
I've purchased a new 128 MB CF, when it arrives I will rewrite the image to the new one and install into current device.
Going to retry OS re-install in mean time.

Thread update(2015-03-23 03:31 PM EST): Did OS re-install, system booted up. RAIDar moved from booting to "4.1.14" to "file system check,100%" to "4.1.14". Everything is accessible FrontView and Network file system.

Thank you everyone for your input and help through this problem.

  • Method 1 failed badly, ended up with it showing the volume as dead as well as drive 1 dead as well as UPS not connected etc.

    I was able to do an update on the firmware and reboot and now its all showing again but Frontview doesn't think it good..

    If you can access your data I would backup your data now. Do you have a backup?
