Blinking blue light off death

[elvis89]

Hello there! I’m using an old dl2100, serial number is WDBBAZ0040JBK-20

I guess it’s a Gen. 3 device, since Gen.2 ends with xxx-10
And I’m pretty sure I’m at OS5.

I tried rebooting, resetting with both methods (4 and 40sec) but the device is not responding. Blue per button is blinking in a 1 sec interval, but I can’t access it by any means. Neither my windows pc or my fritzbox router list the nas device. So I was thinking:

Is there a way to force install OS5 via USB Stick?
Is there a recovery?
or is it even possible to install another Linux on it?

Best regards, awaiting a few good hints.

The Intel Attom CPU has probably died.

DL4100 Not Booting

This morning around 1am according to some logs and such I have my DL4100 NAS stopped working. Odd. I checked the unit out, and the LCD screen was locked up displaying the NAS’s name. No disk activity, all 4 LEDs are solid lit up for disks nut they were not actively doing anything. I power off the unit, power it on, and it won’t boot. I’m met with a blinking blue light, with 4 disk lights solid. Nothing on the LCD screen. After about 3-4 minutes, the device reboots and does it again on a endles…

Intel's Atom C2000 chips are bricking products – and it's not just Cisco hit

Is there any way to verify it? This nas hasn’t earned it’s money yet and it’s like to repair instead of investing into a new device.

Repair is not possible.
