No access, blinking blue power

My stora has worked fine for 4 years, but has been failing over the last couple of data. I normally access from my Macbook via Samba, but i can no longer connect. The blue power light constantly blinks goes off and then blinks again. I only have 1 2TB HD and i can hear it spinning.

As a sanity check, i replaced the network cable and rebooted the router, but no joy.

I can't restart holding on/off for 5 sec, i need to take the power out each time.
From the router i can see the Stora is assigned an IP, but after a short while it disappears.

I've tried everything suggested in the stickies, but nothing is working. When i press the reset and don't restart nothing happens. If i switch off and press reset when it's on (after 15 sec) the 3 lights blink quickly, but nothing changes.

Any ideas? Also is it possible to read the Stora disk (OS X) if i put it in an external enclosure?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ross

Hi @rossjha,

 

To isolate whether it is a power issue, I suggest plugging the Stora to another power outlet or try using another power adapter with the same voltage and amp specification as the supplied adapter.

 

You may need a program that will allow you to read the file format of the HDD which is using Linux if you intend to directly connect it to the computer.
