NV+ not going into the boot options
Is there any known tricks for getting an NV+ into the boot menu? I'm trying to do a USB os install due to an OS Index error but maybe once in every 100+ tries the NAS won't go into the boot menu. I...
- This morning I fired up the NAS and it did go into the boot menu but this time the LCD was dark and letting go of the power switch had no effect. It just kept cycling though the options (all disk LEDs blink every 5 secs). I tried a few more times and back to the old issue of not going into boot options.
I'm officially calling this NAS dead. đ. Even if I recovered it, there would be no confidence in it lasting long so it's just not worth it.
Thanks for the help though, I really appreciate it. Time to start looking for a new one.

I'm an engineer by trade. I find it fun to tinker with this stuff. The amusement factor is what makes it worth it to me.
By the way, my serial number is a combination of numbers and letters, Not hex, letters like RT and starts with 215. I'm guessing this means no new power supply for me.
Every couple days I try to get it to tech support again but so far when I get the menu to work (after long periods without power code plugged in) it seems to do the boot mode options but the LCD is dark so I have no idea what is going on.

If you have a standard ATX supply, you can hook it up (either modifying the pinout directly, or creating an adapter).
It won't fit inside the chassis, but would work ok.
