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 replaced the original memory module with another 256MB DDR PC2700 module and tried running the memory test. It seems I can not run the test at all - even after holding the power switch for over 25 seconds, the LEDs did not flash more than 4 times. At about 45 seconds, the LEDs flashed and now I have solid LEDs indicating drives bays 2 and 4 are populated (which actually is not true) and the power LED is flashing rapidly.
Is my unit busted for good? I would like some pointers/help from ReadyNAS gods on this forum. It the unit is bad, I am ready to toss it and move on, but would like to salvage it if someone can help. Netgear can't help.
Strangely, the one that came with the unit is actually a PC3200, when the spec says PC2700.
