ReadyNas Pro6 will not start
After a power outage, it will not start. It only show "readynas" in display. Have tried another PSU that are OK. I have upgraded to 6.10. What options do I have?

Hi nautic_no,
Is the NAS still detected on RAIDar?
If it is not detected by RAIDar, you can try removing the disks and see if you will get the same behavior on the NAS. (Note: Label the disks with its corresponding bay before removing them from the NAS)

Hi!
As long as the device is not started not net and no raidar. Lan is not active, no net.
I have tried that width no luck. Fans spinning up. Led1 contant red. Will not reset or start. Just ReadnyNAS in display. Is it supposed to take a while? Is there an other way to start?

When hold reset down while power up, boot menu is suposed to appear in display. But it do not. Is the reset button faulty? Some advice to clean every connector including CPU and memory. Is that something I should try?
Best regards

Your NAS will display "ReadyNAS" even if the only thing working is the 5V of the power supply. If you have tried another power supply (and didn't forget to plug in any connectors, esp. the 4-pin CPU one), then about the only other things you can replace are the RAM and CPU. It's unlikely to be the CPU, so I'd try the RAM. If you already have upgraded the RAM, then try it with just one DIMM, then the other.
There is a VGA header on the motherboard to which you can connect a VGA pigtail and then a monitor so you can see if the BIOS gives you any additional information. https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/freenas-on-readynas-pro-6.24666/ shows a good picture of this, even though the author was doing a lot more.
