Initally it would not power on. I unplugged the power cable, plug it back in again, and then tried to turn on at back switch and front button. Tried this like 20 - 30times and then suddendly it powered up. Weirdly after that, no issue with powering up again. I found you HAD to remove the power cable each time. Once i got it powered on it failed to boot it was stuck on readynas logo. Restarted a load more times and suddenly it worked. Backed everything up - and now unit in bin! As i also got an EOL on this unit from Netgear today, QNAP TS-253 Pro here I come :-)

Yes connected to local network, but cannot ping it so no raidr does not find it. i dont think the box is even booting that far.

No backup :(

4 x 2TB drives in RAID5 with 1 spare

Hello punderwood75,

Always have full back up of your files, we always strongly recommend that.

How's the LED activity?

Please connect the NAS straight to the computer that has the RAIDar and see of RAIDar will detect it.

  This sounds very much like the beginning of the end for your power supply. Fortunately, compatible replacements are available. You may want to familiarize yourself with other threads on the forum concerning that.
