ReadyNV: Can´t get out the Tray...
Hi Folks, seems to me i´m stupid. Due to a diskfailure i like to replace a HardDisk#2. But I can´t get the Tray out. Tried to push the Button and tried to do it with a paper clip. No latch comes ou...
I just want to say
a) wow do I ever have this problem
b) thanks for this thread
c) if this were easier to find, linked from the KB, still included pictures, etc, that would be helpful.
I just decided to upgrade the drives my ReadyNAS NV (original model, still humming along just fine). I tried pushing the latch-release button, and nothing happened. I googled around, found the owner's manual with some ironically optimistic prose about how easy it is to add new disks, but nothing about how to remove stuck ones, then eventually found this thread, tried the paperclick trick, and it worked.
All four of my drive sleds are completely stuck; no amount of wiggling the various components (even after removing them and removing the drive and poking at the mechanism from both sides) seems to unstick it. However, the paperclick trick works fine, so I guess that's how I'll be doing things from now on.
Note that the post from r2-d2 (3rd message in this thread) is supposed to have a picture, but the picture isn't there any more (that post is 5.5 years old!). Thanks to the careful description in words from yoh-dah, I was able to figure it out without the picture.
