1. Basic Power Cycle with Reset
- Power off your NAS completely.
- Remove all drives and external devices.
- Press and hold the RESET button.
- While holding RESET, plug in the power adapter.
- Continue holding RESET for about 4–10 seconds until you hear a beep or see LED activity.
- Release the button and wait to see if the NAS boots.
This method attempts to trigger a low-level reset and may allow DSM reinstallation.
