NAS200 died?

Hi all,

I ask to everybody any kind of help on this issue.

After my came back from holiday where I obviously detached all power supply connection, I got a big surprise from my nas200 because it doesn't bring up any more.

I checked the transformer and it works fine (12DCV), so it seem that it's really the nas200 that is died within its internal power connection.

I say you that no light, no beep, anykind of noisy coming from NAS200....is it really died?

 

Please help me!!!

 

Thanks a lot

Piero

Re: NAS200 died?

If the power supply works okay and the unit doesn't come on when you push the on/off button, there's probably something wrong with the electronics. I'm sure it's not under warranty anymore so if you don't know how to repair it, I'm afraid you're stuck.

 

You can retrieve the data by connecting the disk(s) to a PC and running SystemRescueCD. See link below.

Frequent NAS200 Answers:
1. DISABLE the "convert failed logins to guest logins" option to fix permission problems.
2. NEVER insert or remove hard disks while the power is on. NAS200 doesn't support hot swapping.
3. ALWAYS use the power button to turn the NAS200 off, don't just unplug it.
4. Don't trust RAID. Make BACKUPS!
5. To ACCESS the disks directly, you will need ext2 and/or XFS file systems. I recommend using SystemRescueCD.
6. Disks will get HOT with standard fan, use "green" disks or consider replacing the fan.
7. FTP server is insecure and doesn't work behind a NAT router. Use my firmware and SCP instead.
8. MY FIRMWARE supports SSH shell prompt and SCP for secure file access, and allows running other software.

Re: NAS200 died?

 

For a few days now I have tried to get my nas200 back as after a powerfailure the browser page is giving me the Error: failed to get samba information. All setup data has been change but I am still able to dect it under the old server name within my network.

 

After reading many threads and articles on this I tried the following:

 

First I disconnected the hard drives to avoid any damange.

 

As I am able to get into the browser I tried with no luck so far to

  1. upgrade the firmware
  2. reset the nas200 with the reset button and on the Systempage
  3. Reset Sys Config by erasing it from redboot but i only found the article on the NSLU2 and the fis commad on the nas200 does not work (I was able to get the redboot running but did not make any changes

Does anyone has any further ideas?

Re: NAS200 died?

thank you so much jack.

I think the same of you....and I don't think I could find out anybody wants to replace any parts of the mother board. I think I'll have to move to another nas....

 

bye!
