ReadyNAS NV won't boot after power outage
Hi, I have a ReadyNAS NV that will not boot after several power outage occurred yesterday. When I power on the ReadyNAS NV, the blue power light continually blinks blue (approx 1 per second). I have all of the data backed up, so I tried both reinstalling the OS (hold power for 5 seconds) and resetting to factory defaults (push reset button in back and power on, holding reset button for 30 seconds).
Regardless of what I try, I can't get it to do anything other than the fast blue power light blinking. Is there any way to salvage this NV?
Thanks,
Jeff

Can you run a memory test using the boot menu?
How about a USB boot recovery?

Hi, it looks like my memory is bad. The memory test resulted in drive lights 1-2 flashing then drive lights 3-4 flashing in an alternating fashion. I reseated my memory and ran the memory test again, same result. I just ordered new memory, so hopefully that will resurrect my NV.
Thanks for your help.
Jeff

Replacing my memory did the trick. Thanks for the assistance!

Have you considered using an UPS?
