White flashing light after electricity outage

Here is a similar situation and a reply from WD support:

Nobody here knows the state of your My Cloud Home but you. Nobody here knows whether

  • Age and state of the My Cloud Home (MCH)
  • Amount of data storage used
  • Condition of the hard disk
  • Location of your MCH and its access to WD servers
  • State of your network and router after power outage

that can all affect the connection and the recovery of your data.

You should try to download the debug_logs.zip from your My Cloud Home. It can sometimes be downloaded even if the white LED is flashing.

Try to file a support ticket with WD Tech support.

Check your access to the WD server and its status which is also dependent on your location.
