Hi,
It was a while back.I contacted a guy called Mark_V who is an ex employee. He had remote access and fixed it twice as it broke again after the first fix. It died a third time and I gave up. You might try contacting Mark via this system?

The person fixing it needs to use Netgear tools because the VPD is digitally signed. Marc_V and the other mods who used to apply this fix as a courtesy no longer work for Netgear, and don't have access to those tools. Paid support is no longer available for any ReadyNAS.
AnishaA might possibly be able to assist (or loop in someone who can). But there simply might not be any Netgear ReadyNAS folks left who can help you.
