Red Blinking

Hi there, and sorry but i couldn’t find any better way to find a solution.
I just realized that my WD MyCloud has a Red Blinking lights.
I tried to restart, but nothing.
When i try to login in give me back this message (attached below).
I can find any firmware to update.
I tried to push the rest for 4 sec, and keep the WD disconnected for more than 40sec.

Thank you if you can help me.

Hello,

We recommend you kindly refer to the following KBA article (My Cloud: Solid and Blinking Red Power and Drive LED Status)

i have a second generation mycloud here and im trying to revive it from the graveyard however it keeps blinking red too, it has no drive LED or Power LED just a single LED on the front, i tried connecting to it from ethernet but it has no ip and the copper-lined holes on the board which i suspected are UART, i couldn’t read from
Drive is within normal operation temperatures
no RAID (none specified on Fox_EXE.ru’s tutorial
Reformatted to the linux file structure per Fox_E XE’s tutorial
tried USB recovery tool
still red blinking of death
