ReadyNAS NV+ won't boot
Hello community. So after having my trusty NV+ for 15 years it finally decided to stop working. I can't seem to resesitate it and was hoping that i might get some input here before I give it a well deserved funeral.
Here is what it is doing. With all the drives removed, when I power it up after about 10 sec deive 1 and 3 lights go solid and stay that way. Nothingon the front of the unit responds. Power button does not work, the little led display does not light up. Just sit there. I pull the power cable to turn it off.
If I remove the 1GB DIMM, then the drive letters (I think 2 and 4) alternate blinking. But the rest of the symptoms are the same.
I tried doing various resets: pressing the reset buttong for 5 seconds after powering up as well as 30 seconds to try to do a factory reset. Nothing.... Anything else I shoud try? TIA!

Try a USB or TFTP recovery. https://kb.netgear.com/21400/RAIDiator-4-1-USB-Recovery-Tool

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion but that KB article page says that applies to the following models and my NV+ v1 is not listed. Should I try it anyway?
supported models for that USB Recovery trick are:
