My MBL 2T isn't accessible anymore (LED blinks /w long pauses)

Hi,

My MBL 2T isn’t accessible anymore (LED blinks /w long pauses).

It started out last weekend, when it wasn’t accessible anymore via network from my laptop; i think the red led was on, but i’m not sure here. I did a reset with the paperclip for 4 seconds and directly powered it off. Then for a couple of days i let it re-index or whatever it does when i hear the disc rumble (read/write). It’s LED at some time was i guess white, blinking with long pauses, so yesterday i pulled the power off and waited for 15 seconds and now all it does is blink green with long pauses and it still makes rumbling sounds…
Can someone please help me solving this issue?

Thank you so much!

Regards, Tom

Hi, are you able to see the drive in your routers DHCP table? Are you able to access the dashboard my typing http://mybooklive?

Hi Iluna,

Well, I have a network scan utility on my phone that does a ping sweep in the routers subnet; all devices with IP addresses appear, except the MBL…

Thanks & regards, Tom

btw, the LED looks kinda white now…
