DS412+ flashing blue light - reflash the Flashdrive?

[hannmuell]

Hi, everybody,

 

I got a DS412+ given as a defect gift.

I have great interest to get it running again.

 

I've already done several self-built NAS projects - but with " readytogoNAS' " very little experience.

 

To the error description and what I have already tried:

The DS412+ doesn't boot - flashes continuously blue (more than 4.5min)

• RAM swapped - no change
• Battery replaced - no change
• Power supply voltage measured - seems to be OK.
   

Now I almost assume that the flash module has a defect.
Am i right in my assumption?

 

My consideration now was - to remove the flash module, make a backup of it and then install XPENology?

 
Could this lead to get it working again?

@hannmuell As you have a genuine Synology device it maybe worth looking through the Synology forums or even contacting Synology support for advice.

i guess i don't have warranty anymore.

But i'll also give it a shot and ask there for support.

You're correct that you won't have warranty anymore but they should still be able to offer advice & possibly diagnose the issue.

You will need a flash drive whether you want to have a legit version or use xpenology. No ways around. Since you have a genuine box I suggest you try contacting Synology see if the flash drive can be fixed or replaced for a price.
