Readynas Duo V1 (rnd2150) Interesting boot failure...
Greetings. I'm stumped, and cannot seem to find anyone who's encountered this particular boot behavior. As the subject says, I have a duo that I purchased in 2008 or 2009 that's been running flawl...
Just to post back after the fact.....
I've tried everything to get the duo back up and running, including replacing the CR2032 and attempting a USB flash, but nothing works. I still get the same behavior: no blue light, and only the second green led for drive two lit after hitting the power button. At this point, I'm calling it quits I suppose. Since this is a v1 duo, I'm completely out of warranty. I was able to successfully reclaim my data fortunately, so at least I know the drives weren't the issue. I'm puzzled as to why an abrupt loss of power would cause the system to completely fail like this (and that is all that happened.... the UPS it was plugged into was switched completely off). At this point though, and even though the prices on the duo v2's are outstanding because of the new hardware and os6 options being released immediately, I can't see myself wanting to risk everything again on a similar unit.
Thanks to everyone for the posts that gave me options to try.
