RNDP2000 will not stay on

My RNDP2000 will turn on, lights on network interface, but turns off after about 1.5 minutes.

I am unable to keep on long enough to troubleshoot.

 

Ideas?

    What firmware is it running?

    Was the onset of this issue sudden, or did you sometimes have issues with it locking up before?

      Can you grab the log file before it shuts down to see if it's shutting down under control (shutdown is logged) or you ju st see the next power-on without a prior shut-down?

       

      If it's uncontrolled, then a power issue could be it, it could be bad RAM, or it could be a (probably erroneous) indication of over heating.

       

      If it's controlled, hopefully the logs will be informative as to why.

       

      If it's a power issue, a new power brick might help, but I wouldn't put a lot of hope in that.

        Thank you for your reply.

        i am not able to get into it (might be a bad process on  my part).

         

        I  have it plugged into my network. I see the IP on my router, but I am unable to get to it via a BROWSER interface.

         

        Is there some other preferred method.  

        As an aside, I was able to see the data on the drive via RECLAIM software, so I know the data/drive is good.  It is just the devide. RAM is a good thought.  It was VERY DUSTY inside. I cleaned it out, but it could still THINK there is a heat issue.

         

        If there is a good process for seeing logs, or consoling in, please advise.

         

        Thank you again!

      The onset was sudden.

       

      I am unfamiliar with the device.  I am 'tech support' for family members, and this is one of those instances.
