Hi,
Synology want to log in and look at it...which would be great if it hadn't died on me this morning.
My previous problem was that it was shutting down intermittently which I had put down to bad sectors on one of the drives, after Synology told me to check when I opened up a ticket. I thought that problem had gone away as it has been up and running for the past couple of weeks with no shutdowns. The odd thing with the shutdown problem was that it would not boot until, say, an hour had passed with it not being plugged in, almost like a delayed period before it would power up like when the trip goes on your lawn mower and you have to wait.
Similar behaviour this morning but, although it does get to a point where it will power on, I can't log in when previously I always have been able to. This is with all the drives removed to take them out of the equation. I've run the Synoliogy Assistant which detects it at an auto ip assigned 169.254.xxx.xxx address but it's status is 'not installed' and any attempt to connect with the assistant results in timeouts when normally I can get to it to sort the networking out.
I get the feeling that this unit may be properly hosed but as I'm 6 months out of the 3 year warranty from when I originally purchased it with Ebuyer, how difficult is it going to be to get a replacement?
