I've had a LS220D for years, and while cryptic and finnicky at times, has been reliable.  I recently moved and somewhere in the move the unit was dropped because the front door popped off of the unit and the drives were loose and sliding in the guides.  I managed to re-seat the drives and turned it on to find a white flashing light on the front.  There is a problem, though.  Navigator 2 cannot find the unit on my network.  I tried to re-initialize the drive using the button on the back, but when I follow instructions and push the button while the light is flashing it changes to red and flashes in a pattern of 7 and then repeats.  Could this be because I'm using a different cable modem to manage my network?  I will download and reinstall Navigator 2, but I'm not convinced that will solve my problem.

Beyond that does anybody have any suggestions or should I go directly to salvaging the data?

Thanks in advance,
