Most NAS devices (see below for details)


Symptom

If your NAS device fails to start up, you can try to manually recover the device. Failure to start up may be the result of a failed firmware update, which can occur when a disruption of the power supply or network connection prevents a firmware update from completing successfully. Manually recovering the device will restore the firmware and allow the device to start up correctly.

This FAQ explains how to manually recover your NAS. Some NAS models cannot be recovered manually and will need to be physically serviced by a qualified hardware technician. Consult the following sections of this guide relevant to your NAS model.
