RN104 firmware update bricked my unit
I have several netgear ReadyNAS units at work and home. The newest one of our collection, the RN104, got bricked on a recent firmware update from Netgear. On reading through the forum threads,...
I found the receipt, called back Netgear support, and they accepted to RMA the unit as it was within warranty period for hardware and having a hardware failure due to faulty Netgear issued firmware.
New unit arrived next business day, and the drives were put in and they booted up fine. The unit is working now. Thank you.
One more thing to mention:
I press the reset button on the back on a reboot, but it does nothing. The unit insists on entering the "Boot from USB" and if i fail to put in a recovery USB in the front of the unit, it proceeds to fail with a "Boot from USB failed".
