My 8-month-old LS-CH500L-EU (or LS-CH500L-V2 as it's named in NASNavigator2 on my MacBook Pro) is stuck in EM-mode (I think) and even though the linkstation starts up, and is visible (at first) I can't read or write to it. Firmware version was earlier identified as v.1.10 (now I can't see the version number in NASNavigator). Earlier the LED flashed in amber: one long and one short blink. That would translate to error message I11 I guess, but no such error exists according to the manual or any forum threads I've found.
At ONE time, NASNavigator identified the hard drive and the problem as "I11: The number of bad sectors on disk 1 has reached emergency level". What does this mean and what am I supposed to do about it? Does it mean that the data is corrupted and/or that my data is lost? Is the hard drive on the verge of crashing? This would really suck since the device is only 8 months old! Anyone had this particular problem or knows what to do about it? I would be really grateful for any help and advice, don't know what to do at this point.
Any advice would be really helpful and appreciated,
Andreas
