I had a power outage and the UPS to which my 1100 is plugged failed. After power returned, my 1100 wouldn't boot. All that it does is a slow, blinking, blue light.
I've seen tons of messages in the forum about this and it can mean many things. My first response was to attempt to reinstall the firmware by pressing the reset button with a paperclip while powering on and releasing after the four green lights flashed after five seconds. No effect.
I tried, in turn, to remove each drive and power on, even with the aforementioned reset button procedure to no effect.
The troubleshooting guides provide no support beyond this point.
It was a totally dead drive. I download the Seagate tools and found that one of the drives wouldn't even mount. I put in a backup replacement and it fired up and started syncing the volume. Good triumphs over evil once again.
