Inherited a Linkstation Pro Duo LS-W2.0TGL/R1 from a friend. (no drives)
I plugged it into the network and it is not visible by the NasNavigator or updater tools. Going into the Router's admin page.. I don't see it listed on the DHCP device list as getting an IP.
NOTE: I don't have MAC filtering on the router, and can see other devices such as my PC, Laptop, iPhone, and Tablet.
I tried booting it both with some old drives (which I want to reformat) and without any drives in it.
How do I reset it to factory defaults so it gets an IP and is able to be seen by the Navigator software?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

OK, I did that.
FIRST OFF.. I only have 1 Drive right now. -- is that a problem?
I followed FAQ 3 of 5 several times, here's what happened.
Got rapid blinking blue light -- good
Power light came on. Activity light flashed then front panel showed a blinking Exclamation point - 6 pulses, then a slight blink from the activity light, then 6 pulses from the middle exclamation point. - repeats for several minutes.
Hit the FUNCTION key on the back once.. unit began to initialize.
TFTP server listening on 192.168.11.1:69
First file transfer fine, then Initr.bufalo timesout, almost immediately
At this point the TFTP server just sits there.
So I repeated several times.. same affect.
I downloaded the Firmware and thought maybe I should extract the files into the TFTP folder and overwrite the generic files that were in that folder.. so I did that and repeated steps.. same result. First file says "blocks served" but 2 file almost immediately times out.
SO I run through FAQ 2 of 5 Force Firmware Update - but the LS updater says that there are no devices found.
NasNavigator can't see it either.
Is the unit DEAD?
