StephenB :

Thank you for your answer . Of course I didn;t buy it new . I buyed it like it is without trying it or smtg . it was a "what you see is what you get for this price" , and I buyed it .

I have a power adapter ( 12V 7.5Ah ) and as I said power button led is blinking . However power button is not working. no matter how often or long I press it .... it does not turn off the nas . when I am giving power is starts and that's it .

I'll get a hdd and zero it , then I'll put it inside , install RAIDar software and will let you know if any progress is made .

Thank you so far for your advices , I really appreciate it !

  RAIDar seems to "see" the machine .
  power led is blinking continuosly , display is not visible / offline .
  photo with raidar print screen, please advice what to do next ( except getting a hdd , zero it and drop it inside the machine )

    Hi owex,
    
    I apologize but I think you may really need to wait for the hard drives to further isolate the issue.
    
    You could probably test the drives on your PC using a disk utility to confirm if they really have issues.
