ReadyNAS NV+ v2 not booting - fast blinking Backup button light
Can anyone provide me with the right config of the USB Recovery Utility for my NAS? Not sure if it's x86, Marvell, or Annapurna.
The symptoms are similar to this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/NV-v2-Won-t-Boot-Fast-Flashing-Backup-Light-Only/m-p/1068565#M106731
Was working fine for years, then one power outage, and now it won't boot. No error message, just a fast flashing Backup button light.
Thanks!

Did you try unplug the power and wait several minutes and boot again ? See Here , the box boot again.
Also did you try boot the box w/o drives ? if there are things showing up on LCD, then you may not need usb recovery.
It does boot w/o drives - I get an "ERR - No disks detected" on the LCD.
When I re-installed disks 1-3 (leaving the 4th drive out), I got the same blinking backup light.
Is there a recommended recovery process based on my situation?Thanks!
Hi ScottIon,
Given the error, the NAS seems to be okay. Would be best to test the hard drives via a disk utility. You would need to connect the drives to a PC though.
