RN104 Stuck In Boot Menu Mode/Normal after firmware upgrade 6.6.1
Last time I logged into my RN104, it offered me a FW upgrade to 6.8.0. I accepted. Something went horribly wrong and my NAS became unusable - completely. My data's fine due to having off-site backups...
It's not clear to me what "wanting to boot off USB" looks like. Can you describe the state it's in when trying to boot normally?
- What is printed on the LCD display?
- How long does it take to get to its final state?
- What is the state of each of the LEDs?
- Do any of the buttons respond?
I will get this data ASAP. if I recall, the machine ONLY powers up wanting to boot USB with the power light and backup light (far right/left) blinking in an alternating, rapid pattern.
The display indicates it wants to boot from USB (whether there's a HD in the unit or not).
In 10-15 seconds, it usually fails.
With a recovery USB drive in it, it shows that it's trying to boot, but then ultimately fails.
With a "special" recovery USB drive (for getting a diagnostic port) it takes a few seconds to boot, then displays the diagnostic port number.
None of the buttons do a thing.
hmmmm same here! opened a topic yesterday evening and today checking out other topics to find out yours...
It should be some kind of factory warranty 'cause the update killed the chassis, not age.That makes 4 of these that have "died" on the upgrade to 6.8.0.
:-(
exactly same here
