Do you need to recover data, or just bring the device back to life? I am assuming the latter...
First try putting the original disks back (in slot order if you know it) with the duo powered down, and then power it up. Check the status with RAIDar, and see what it says.
If you aren't sure of the slot order, you can try powering down again, and swapping the disks.
