Tftp
How exactly do I go about doing a TFTP recovery before I consign my NV+ 4000 to the bin. I''ve tried USB recovery but that just hangs so TFTP is my last option. I have downloaded all teh files a...
Hi,
I didn't buy it brand new i bought it second hand on the assumption the previous owner didn't know how to configure it.
When I got it and droped a hard drive in it just wouldn't boot up. just keeps saying booting but the drive doesn't spin up so something isn't right.
On the safe side thought I would just update the firmware to the latest via USB recovery but that just hangs on USB initialize. something is read on the thumb drive and the nas fan slows down but never finishes.
I have tried 3 thumb drives and a micro sd card in a dongle of which all are being read by the NAS but like i say never finishes.
So tried TFTP not sure if i'm doing it right because the service only seems to want to use 127.0.0.1. Went through the router also to make sure it was all on 192.168.125.x but just get an ARP error whatever that is. Either it's not accessing th efiles on the pc or it too is failing.
Not sure what else i can do.
Should i be getting some hard drive spin? I'm assuming the recovery doesn't need hard drives in.
I have tried 2 different Hard drives and even bought new ram for the NAS to rule that out.
I can only assume the nand chip or whatever gets written too is not working right.
I can not do a system diag either, again it just seems to never finish, Tried Resetting to and yep again never finishes and no hard drive spin.
Shame as I was looking forward to using it. :( Oh , well.
