MyCloud 2TB - stuck at white LED after botched package installation - need inputs

I am running a 2TB My Cloud on 3.x firmware. 

Recently, I attempted installing minidlna through apt-get.  Trying to get the latest version, I included Debian/Wheezy in the apt-get sources list.  This led to some packages being installed, which were not compatible with the build on the machine.  I ended up with many broken dependencies.  At this time, the machine was functioning. 

I then restarted the machine using the dashboard.  The machine never came back after this restart - it remained stuck with a white LED.  I tried waiting it out, but it didnt change even after a couple of days.  I then tried a system restore using the “40-sec” reset button method. The white LED blinked, but there was no further change.  I waited a couple of days hoping the restore would work, but havent seen any change.  I tried the system restore again, but there was no change - the white LED remains stuck.  All through, I am unable to access the dashboard.  I’m also not able to SSH into the device.

Any suggestions for rescuing the device would be very helpful.  I have a ton of data on it, and would very much like to retain it. (I know, I should’ve been more careful in the first place).  Any inputs / ideas would be much appreciated.
