My Thecus NAS n4200 is not starting up. Cable all connected properly. 12 hours ago, all fine, hard drives all fine then (some are new).

 

It wont start (no power) - all connected and the adapter light is on. 

 

Any idea?  

 

Oh lots of stuff on it is not backed up, actually more like 99% of the stuff are not backed up!!! :-(

Happy to pay to recover the data if within budget

Sounds like board failure.

How many drives were installed / what capacity?

What RAID scheme was used (0,1,5,JBOD) ?

Was encryption enabled?

How much GB actual data was on it?

If it was standard Linux raid then it is pretty easy to mount the drive again on a Linux based system to recover the data.

Yeah Thecus uses mdadm apparently so provided no encryption should be fairly straightforward.

4 drives

RAID 10

No encryption

So who should I get in touch.

Close to 1TB of data
