ReadyNAS 2100 won't factory reset or USB boot
Hi,
I have scoured the forums and the closest topic i found was:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-in-Business/ReadyNAS-2100-will-not-boot/td-p/1148827
When I turn on the NAS the LED lights up on Disk 2 and then Disk 4 and ACT flashes a couple of times and then the fan speed dies down and sits there with no LEDs on at all except network and power.
RAIDar can't detect it via DHCP router or crossover using 192.168.168.168
Boot menu works but when selecting any option except "Memory Check" the LED sits locked on the boot menu selection, ACT flashes for a couple of seconds and then the fan speed dies down and it sits there, I've left it for 24hours just in case and no change.
I've tried USB boot recovery with 5 different USBs with activity indicators and nothing happens when booting up normally or holding reset or holding backup.
I've zero'd out all the drives and tried inserting them as there was a topic saying that the NAS should do a factory install if it detects all blank drives but it continues to do the same thing.
I am have run out of things to try, any suggestions would be great.

Is this a v1 or a v2?
