RN202 bricked

Question

Hi everyone!I've tried everything and got no solution, I explain...&nbsp;A week ago one of the disks&nbsp;(2nd bay) get offline, I thought was a good moment to upgrade the HDD from 4TB to 10TB.So, I bought 2 WD elements to "shuck" them (extract the disk). I put them in after making a data backup in other HDD.I made a fresh configuration, the NAS recognized both disk and start the sync.&nbsp;Short time after, the sync was faulty. The second disk was offline (maybe in other status), the RAID state was degraded for sure.I made a proper restart (double push power button) and the NAS gets bricked.&nbsp;I can't boot with other disks, not show in RAIDar, not get IP address,...I've tried: reinstall OS, factory reset, read-only boot, USB Rescue...&nbsp;The lights in the ethernet ports are steady. I've got all the combinations in the front LED, but I don't remember in which state.- Power button blinking- Power button and disks steady, but actvity very active.&nbsp;At the home router, in some point, the NAS tries to get IP because its logged as unknown_device with the MAC address.&nbsp;Any hints?

Maybe try testing the new disks in a Windows PC (powering down, and labeling by slot).&nbsp; While doing that, see if RAIDar finds the NAS (showing a "no disks" status).

Thanks for your response.No, RAIDar can't find the NAS even without the disks.&nbsp;I just tried with only one small 500Gb disk, formated via PC:- The lights seems OK (power and disk1 steady)- Both ethernet ports LED links steady green- Last connection, 2 days ago when I perform a "Factory Reset"&nbsp;

OK.&nbsp; Are you able to reach http://nas-ip-address/admin with the 500 GB drive installed? Use the real IP address of course.

Nope, no IP assigned.As the image shows, the last connection to the router was 2 days ago while I'm perfoming a factory reset/OS reinstall.&nbsp;If I scan the network the NAS doesn't show. Not even in the router "attached devices" list.&nbsp;Thank you for your time, anyways.

&nbsp;

That image is from your router UI?
&nbsp;
You are seeing green status on both ethernet ports - do you have bonding set up?&nbsp; Have you tried disconnecting one of the two ports?
