Title: LS-CH1.0TL lost its IP...
Post by: dreadpyrat on February 26, 2013, 12:17:03 AM

Hi all, I have a Linkstation LS-CH1.0TL with the 1.60 firmware. I'm trying to run it on a Win7 64bit laptop. I connected it, got it to show up in NasNavigator, and got some errors. It would not retrieve the system time. After fiddling with it for a while, decided to restore to factory defaults. This ran for a bit, the NAS rebooted, and it hung over night on  a screen about "resetting". I closed the Settings window since it was obliviously hung after sitting like that for 14 hours. Now NAS Navi cannot find any linkstations. Tried reinstalling NN, tried reinstalling firmware. Nothing. I cannot find the NAS on the network and since I'm sure the IP was reset, I cannot manually access it. I've no idea now how to get back onto my nas where I've got a terabyte of data I hope I've not lost!

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Rob

It is doing 3 long flashes in red. According to the user manual....that is an RTC Chip error? I've no idea what t do with that information. ;) I've a ton of data on the drive - is thre any way to recover it?

Actually, thats E30, a HDD error. Might be a physical fault with the HDD itself. IF you have no backup (which you should have at all times) then contact a data recovery company.

Harddrive error? I dont understnd how it could happen, as I was jsut setting it to factory defaults thru the web interface. Somehow that triggered a drive failure? Anywa,y this drive WAS my backup. Bummer.

FYI a backup is when you have 2 copies of the data.

So is there anyway to access the drive, even to reformat it? I cant figure out how to even get the drive to show up...

The HDD is faulty, short of replacing the HDD yourself and reloading the boot image there is nothing you can do.
