I own 3 of these units. The 2.02.32 update messed them all up - all 3 became unstable. I reverted to 2.01.86 sucessfully on 2 of the units, loading from USB memory stick.
The 3rd unit failed, hung while progress bar was showing - I left it overnight, no change. Now when I reboot it comes up with the screen telling you to instert USB drive with firmware to recover my unit. I instert a USB stick and the LED on the stick flickers for a couple of seconds to show that the unit is accessing it. But then that stops and nothing else happens.
WD support recommends pressing the reset button for 4 seconds. I get no response from that action, so WD support page says the unit is broken.
I am assuming that is unit is not just sick, it has been murdered by 2.02.32 (with help of with some other fault in the unit I guess - maybe a USB controller - I never use the USB on my units other than this firmware rollback).
Any other suggestions or do the experts here agree that this unit is dead?
Thanks,
Mike.
