I have similar symptoms.  After leaving my HS-DHGL powered down for a  month it won't restart.

I have tried using LSUpdater whhich appears to install something and reboots the device, but the boot sequence does not finish.

I have also seem instances of the beeping and four flashes of the error light.  Also my fan is not turning.

 

I'd really like to know where the problem may be.  Is the issue likely to be in the drive or not?  I'm happy to buy another unit s I can swap the drives over if that would let me get the data off.

 

This seems to be a fairly common pproblem so but I have not been able to find any solution,

I got annoyed and just took the disk out and dumped it. I hope the disk is OK so I just need some XML software now !!!!. I ended up buying a Netgear Stora as this looks all too common in the Buffalo devices although I guess they all have their problems !!

I've given up too.  I took the disk out and mounted it in a pc then used UDF Explorer (highly recommended - all files copied without any errors) to copy the files to another drive.  Saved me having to copy my entire CD / DVD collection again.  I'll reformat the drive from the LiveStation and if it passes some diagnostics I can resuse it elsewhere.  I'm rather unhappy that Buffalo tech support have not been able to resolve this seemingly common problem.  The LiveStation costs about twice as much as a bare drive and is now just a plastic brick.

   Thanks Josh, I did try this but couldn't get it to connect, it doesn't ask for the update. I tried the normal update again and it returns this error "HS-DHGL-EM1D2 returns an error. (ACP-STATE-FAILURE) Updating is aborted."

You can try this but you will lose the data on it.  If you have a back up then try this with the boxes check for "rebuild partition table" and "delete user config".

 

 

If you need the data recovered then  please contact Drive Savers.
