Readynas NV+ blue power light flashing slowly
I went to access a video file and noticed it was very slow and lagging. I closed the program and opened it with another program but nothing opened. I eventaully got an error message saying like the file was missing or something. I went into the web admin and check the logs file but no red flags and all 4 hard drive health showed in the green. I did a reset with a bootcheck however after resetting the blue power light was just flashing and nothing was displayed in the LCD. Raidar was not showing the unit. I was able to ping it via the windows command prompt (CMD)
What do you think is wrong with the readynas?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Can you give a little more information on exactly what you did?

The only thing I did differently is that I told it to monitor a remote NAS UPS connection in order to shut down if there was a power failture. I tested this by unplugging the UPS and it triggered the unit to shut down.
I assumed that when the NAS shuts itself down, it does it property but maybe it shut down and damaged the firmware from the remote UPS monitoring. When I turn the unit back up, I noticed the performance was absolute garbage. Everything was extremely slow and lagging and would not even display when I clicked on various files.
I tried to do a "check volume on reboot" or whatever the options are on the web admin page. Usually there is a LCD status of saying like 5% complete,etc..." Howver, in my case the Readynas will not display anything in the LCD screen and the blue power lights just blinds.
So maybe the firmware is corupted or hard drive is bad,etc...? What does a constantly blue flashing light on the power button usually mean?
So did you download the logs zip file before you rebooted.
It does sound like it's stuck on booting for one reason or another. One possibility would be a bad disk.
Is your backup up to date?
