ReadyNAS NV (original) exhibits strange booting behavior
I have a 7 years old NV box made by Infrant with two 250GB Seagate Barracuda drives. I hadn't used it for a while, but felt suddenly motivated to build a personal cloud. So, last weekend, I fired it u...
I have tried this a multiple times. Also reseated the memory module, but still no luck. I can't get to the memory test mode at all. Should I try and replace it and see if that works? Any pointers as to which memory works best as Netgear doesn't have a verified memory module anymore.
This part here seems to be the correct one: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT3264X335, but it has four chips, while the original memory has 8. I remember reading a discussion on the forum where it was also said that the module with four chips won't work. Is that still the right approach?
Crucial does say this:
"The number of black components on a 200-pin SODIMM can vary, but it always has 100 pins on the front and 100 pins on the back, for a total of 200. 200-pin SODIMMs are approximately 2.625 inches long and 1.25 inches high, though the heights can vary. Like 144-pin SODIMMs, 200-pin SODIMMs have one small notch within the row of pins; however, the notch on the 200-pin SODIMMs is closer to the left side of the module."
I am running out of ideas so all help I can get is appreciated.
On a separate note, Netgear has basically told me that the box is out of warranty and they can't do much, but are still continuing to be in touch. That's awfully nice of them.
