MS2000 problems, now always Blinking Blue Led !

[donaz]

My Stora arrived Tuesday. Setup.... hd and software installation without problems, worked fine but it never accepted the installation of the update..... always the same windows "impossible to apply the update". I tryed the "Diagnostics and repair update" at http://support.netgear.hipserv.com/u...eck/index.html
Now after this always Blinking Blue Led. Can't see the Hard Disk and network. Tryed to eject the Hard Disk and reset with rear button but without success.

What happens, what I can do ?

Please help !

1. Press and hold power button

2. If after 15 seconds holding it won't shutdown/turn off then pull power cord

Do it this from robyb:

If you've rebooted your Stora without any harddrives and it still gives you a blue blinking light, please follow the recovery procedure:

Follow these steps:

• To put the device into recovery mode, power on the device, wait 15 seconds, then hold the reset button while bootup continues.
• The bootup process will take approximately 30 seconds and the blue LED will be blinking during that period.
• As soon as the recovery mechanism kicks in, the blue light turns off and HDDLED1 will turn orange. The reset button can be released at this point.
• Then the device will request a DHCP lease and try to get an IP
o If an IP is obtained, HDDLED2 will also turn orange for 1 second.
o If no IP is assigned the following pattern will be shown on the leds and the recovery mechanism will stop.
Power LED Off -> HDDLED1 and HDDLED2 will blink 3 times together -> All LEDs off
• Once network is up, the download and burn process will begin. During the download procedure the LED behaviour is:
Power LED Off -> HDDLED1 and HDDLED2 will turn on and off in turns
• The download and burn will take around 4-5 mins with a fast connection speed.
• Once the download and burn is done:
o If the burn is successful, all LEDs will turn on for 5 seconds and then the device will reboot normally
o If the burn fails the LED behaviour will stay as follows and the recovery mechanism will stop
Power LED On -> HDDLED1 and HDDLED2 will blink together

Then you can re-configure your device using the Setup CD, use the same product key, Stora name and create the same Stora accounts to recover your data.
