@alex.s Thanks mate. Yes I read many posts on this forum and tried that. I plugged the ethernet cable directly from computer to the MBL but the LED light remained in solid yellow. When I unplugged the ethernet cable there is no change in the LED.
Now I have removed the hard disk safely from the MBL case. I tried to read it in Ubuntu and it listed the drive as sbc with 1.8 TB. But not able to mount it, it gave some error like ‘input/output error’.
I read this post to unbrick, should I try this?
If I format the drive fully, is it possible to restore back to use inside MBL. Are there steps available to do that?
I have also bought a case for this hard disk with power supply.
Last option I would just format it and use as external drive. Will it work that way?
However, I wish to know if it would every possible to put it back in MBL and use it as NAS drive as before?
