RN426E22 NAS Stuck on "Welcome to Netgear Storage" – No Button Response, No Network Access
Hi Team, My NAS (model: RN426E22) is stuck on the "Welcome to Netgear Storage" screen. There is no response when I press the center button or any of the four surrounding buttons. Additionally, the device does not appear on the network — the assigned IP address is not reachable/pingable.

ReadyNas Ultra 4 stuck on booting (though boot menu is working)
Out of the blue, my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 stopped working. Upon powering off and on again, it is stuck on booting. RAIDar can't find the device, and it does not respond to pings. I can reach the Boot Menu. However, regardless of the option I choose, it ends up with "Booting..." and nothing else happens. I tried to use the following modes, all without success: OS Reinstall, Skip Volume Check, and Factory Default. Every time I select an option, the display switches to "Booting..." and nothing else happens. I bought the ReadyNAS in March 2012, and up to today, everything worked fine. I have no idea what the issue might be... So any help would be very much appreciated.
