2 TopicsNetgear NV+ v2 frozen
Further to my issue of last year (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNas-NV-v2-stuck-on-boot-menu-RND4000-200AJS/td-p/1077463) my ReadyNAS has decided to freeze again. This time, after a cold shutdown (wife accidentally pulled out the cable), the NAS will not restart and gets stuck at the Boot Menu. Hitting Backup just scrolls to Normal, but nothing else happens. I have tried the same tricks as last time. - Removed all drives, inserted unformatted scratch disk, rebooted. Nothing. - Factory Reset option is not available. - Holding down reset button does nothing. - I cannot see the NAS in Raidar even if I connect a network cable directly into it. I am about to throw it in the bin. So tired of how touchy it is. Is there another way to factory reset the chassis? I know the data on my storage drives is ok. I have been using it fine until the accidental power plug incident. Any assistance would be appreciated!2.9KViews0likes2CommentsReadyNas NV+ v2 stuck on boot menu (RND4000-200AJS)
I've been using my NAS for 3 years now and it's been great. Rarely an issue and only had to reboot a few times (when drive got full) Today, however, it has decided to die. When I went to use it, the screen on the front of the NAS was blank and I could not power down, so I pulled the plug and pushed it back in. On start-up, the screen went straight to the 'Boot Menu' and stayed that way. I have tried to hold down the reset button and scroll through the options, but it will not move from 'Normal' and I cannot even make it boot up at all. It appears to be stuck on Boot menu. I have tried removing drives (I have 4x WD. 2x 3TB, 1x 1.5TB and 1 2TB) but to no avail. Having searched high and low for answers, I am desperate now. Can I either, reset the firmware to allow me to boot again, or if the box is truly bricked, how do I recover my data? Thanks, MickSolved5KViews0likes8Comments
