I change the drive located on slot 0 to slot 1 and didn’t loaded. It power up but it was on the boot process. Never loaded fully.
I took that drive and placed the new purchase drive on the slot 1 (no hdd on slot 0) and into booted but is blinking all the lights on the front.

If the working disk in slot 0 didn't boot when it was in slot 1, then I think you have a chassis failure (slot 1 has failed). If that is correct, then unfortunately the problem is not repairable.
If you still have the original "failed" drive that you removed, you could see if the system boots with that drive in slot 0 (with slot 1 empty). If it does boot, then that would prove that the original failure was the chassis, not the disk.
You could also see if RAIDar is reporting a no-disks status with a disk in slot 1 (but not slot 0). https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads
As far as the LEDs go, here's what they mean:
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by a 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 - Vendor mismatch
2 - No disks detected
3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configuration
