EX2 not powering up

Legacy Products My Cloud OS 3
1

Hi,

I have recently purchased the My Cloud EX2 and followed the installation instructions.

However the power LED is not lighting up.

There is a green led flashint on the Ethernert port on the back of the device.

Can anyone offer any help please?

Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the community,

I recommend you turn the EX2 off then take both internal drives out and try to power it on again. Also make sure it is plugged in directly into a wall outlet.

Hi and thank you for the welcome and the quick reply.

Do I power it on with the drives removed?

Would this make the warranty invalid if I do this if I had to bring it back to the retailer?

Hello,

This will not void your warranty.

Hi Hamlet,

OK so I took out the two drives and powered up the EX2

I now have a flashing blue LED but that has now turned to flashing yellow.

Should I power off, re-install the drives and try again?

Hi,

I put both drives back in and powered up, but the unit would not power up.

I then took both back out, and put in drive # 1 and again it would not power up.

I took #1 back out and put in #2 and this time it did power up. The LED for drive 2 turned a solid blue.

So does this mean that drive # 1 is faulty and needs replacement?

Hello,

Yeah, seems like a defective drive. If possible try to get it replaced with the place of purchase if not then WD will be more than happy to assist you on this.
