powering down despite manual mode (LS Pro2)
« on: November 24, 2008, 01:28:20 AM »
   

Hei,

 

my LSP2 at home will eventually power down even in the power mode "Manual" and won't wake up when I try to connect to it either via ftp or buffalonas.com, it's frustrating. Can't access my files from work. Anyone with a solution? Please?

 

At home I've noticed that the LS will power down randomly but wake up again when I use my iMac eventhough the power switch is in Manual mode.

 

(the LS P2 is connected to an apple AirPort Extreme which again is connected to the net through a Motorola cable modem.)

 

thanks in advance

What firmware are you running on it?  You may want to update the firmware on the unit.

   Hi, thanks for answering. My LS runs firmware 3.07. I checked and noticed it is the latest version. What else can be done?

I would flash the firmware removing any possible corruption, if this does not work then set up an RMA with your local support.

above is a link on how to force flash the firmware with the same version.
