Ready NAS Duo RND2110 V2 The Power light, ACT light and both drive lights flash every 5 seconds
My Naz Duo RND2110 v2 has worked perfectly since the end of 2013 when i set it up but out of the blue when it switched on last week i hade the power light, act light and both little green drive lights flashing every 5 seconds and the fan remains on constantly.
Radia cannot see the NAS and the power button will not switch it off the only way to do this is to unplug. i have tried the reset at the back but it hase no affect, i have also taken the drives out but there is no differance can any one help please.

Hello silverjay9,
Welcome to the community!
You mentioned you have tried the reset button at the rear panel, do you have full back up of the files? Please note that resetting to factory defaults will not only delete the configuration you have but also all the data.
You can also try connecting the NAS straight to the computer that has the RAIDar. If RAIDar still doesn't see it, remove the disks. (Please make sure you label the disks, it is important that you put them back to their respective bays when you inserting them to the NAS)
Once disks are out, check if RAIDar detects the NAS. If it still doesn't, try another computer. Make sure you are using a known working cable. If all get you the same results, it may be best you contact support to check for it warranty.

Do the blinking lights match one of the codes below?
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 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 configurationHi Jenn
thank you for both the welcome and the help. i have gone through your advised list one by one to no avail all the lights still blink and the fan remaines constantly on. unfortunatley my warrenty ran out quite a while ago so i guess it is time to go shopping again!
thanks and kind regards, Silverjay9.
Hello silverjay9,
The idea of connecting the NAS straight to the computer is to eliminate the possibility of the network's router isn't giving out a valid IP and not seeing the NAS. The purpose of removing the disks is to check if the chassis is still good because RAIDAr should still be able to detect your chassis with or without any disks inserted. And since there is no DHCP between the connection of the NAS and computer (direct connection), the NAS will use its default IP address.
If your NAS isn't still detected by the RAIDar without any disks, then that must be it. The problem here is retrieving the data. The model you have is already EOL, so if you are going to get a new ReadyNAS, that will be a ReadyNAS OS6 version. If your disks till have data and they are important to you, there is a hope to be able to retrieve the data using the ReadyNAS OS6, that is through support team. I suggest contacting them first before doing anything when retrieving the data from the disks used on a legacy NAS to a ReadyNAS OS6.
