RN104 stuck on Boot Menu Mode - Normal after firmware upgrade
Hi all, I have updated my firmware via the web interface because Netgear said the new version 6.9.1 was available to install. Now I can't access the NAS and it's not vissible with RAIDar. Loo...

Hi raygear,
Since the NAS is still not detected even without the disks, it is possible that the chassis already faulty. If you are the original purchaser of the NAS and if it is still under the hardware warranty, you may contact support. They can provide a replacement for your device.

Hi raygear,
Can you try powering up the NAS without the disks and check if RAIDar will be able to detect the NAS?
Note: Please label the drives with their corresponding bay before you remove them to ensure that it still in the same order when you re-insert them.

Hi John,
Update: I have contacted Netgear support. A call of 2 hours with the same checks (reset for boot menu and USB recovery with 3 different USB's) and same result (not accessible and visible). Because of the hardware warranty they will replace the product.
I have a second RN104 but without hardware warranty, so I will not upgrade the firmware for now.
Regards,
Raymond
