power light blinking
Hi,
For some reason I can't access our NAS. I try to detect the device and it's not seeing it. I did a manual IPscan on my network and I can see that it's getting an IP address. Power light is blinking blue, how do I resolve this?
Thanks

Try using RAIDar to check the NAS status. If it sees the NAS, you can try downloading the log zip file.
I did use RAIDar, it was detected with status: no disks detected. Tried the admin page, it opens a browser but unable to see the login or home screen, just shwos site can't be reached. Tried to click on 'Browse' opens the windows explorer but nothing shows up. Tried rescan, no go

The NAS boots off the disks. So if no disks are detected, then you can't reach the admin page, and of course can't see any files.
You should power down, and remove the disks (labeling by slot). Then test them in a windows PC (connecting with either SATA or a USB adapter/dock). Run the long test in the vendor diagnostic (seatools for seagate, or lifeguard for western digital).
Another thing you could try is removing disk 1 (powered down) and see if the NAS boots w/o it. If it fails the same way, then try putting disk 1 back, and booting w/o disk 2.
