[RN202-100NES] Spin-down not working - wake up after seconds
Last week I stopped being able to access my NAS on my network and the unit was powered down. I tried starting and the hard disk would spool up and stay spinning and I still had no access to my NAS. The only way I could get it to stop spinning was to unplug it - pressing the start button wouldn't shut it down.
Every time I try to boot the unit up I get the same problem - the NAS keeps spinning the hard disk and does not link to my network. I have tried to reset by holding the reset button in while powering up but it has no effect.
Please help!

Hello Rbush,
I don't see your RN202 registered. Please have it registered so you can take advantage of the free 90-day support it came with. This seems badly needs attention by higher tier escalation. I do also hope you have full backup of the data as we always strongly recommend it.
Welcome to the community!
