Tonight I was sitting at my desk and my Linkstation Live 500G beeped and shut off. Odd. I power it back on and immediately hit the web admin and it throws Forbidden at me. Then I restart it again and since then it's totally unbrowsable. Not on network, no web admin UI, no nothing. No error codes. I can PING it, but I can't ftp to it or anything.
While checking it out I noticed the fan wasn't moving. Bad fan = lots of heat. Please tell me there's a way to recover the stuff off this baby. I'm going to puke if I lost it all. I have some backed up, obvs, but it's been a while.
SATA USB caddy? Any options? Thanks.

I should add that it used to show up on the network as HS-DHGL099 so that's prob the model number. I don't know about firmware.
Thanks again for any insight.
Fixed. NAS Navigator thing showed it was in EM mode. Flashed firmware and it's back. Fan still broken. I guess I'll leave case off? Or crack a window? It was 25 below here last week, that'll probably be cool enough.
Thanks for reading!
