Case failure? http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-15323499/case-failure Posts in the discussion thread "Case failure?" - Seems my drives work, but case has failed Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:18:40 +0000 http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-15323499#post-5681416 Re: Case failure? http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-15323499/case-failure#post-5681416 Mon, 24 Oct 2022 16:17:14 +0000 aagha 40976 Soft and hard batter resets didn't work! Looks like the HW unit is bork'd. Good news is that the disks are fine and work in my other NAS. Time for a Synology I guess.

I'll try a factory reset tomorrow.

I swapped the drives in them and it seems the casing for one of the units has gone back.

When I power it up, I see just the bottom segment of the lights light up; occasionally the just the top segment lights up (while the bottom segment stays on). I can't mount the unit/drives or access it from the browser (as stated above, putting the drives in the other unit works fines—moving the drives from the good unit to this one doesn't work).

Is there a way to diagnose what's happening?
