Recently purchased LS-V1.0TL issues

[Matty87]

Evening all,

 

I recently purchased a LS-VL180 1.0Tb NAS after a week of headaches trying to get a Western Digital NAS to work.

 

After plugging in the LS-VL into my router and turning it on, a solid orange light appears, which appearntly means it needs a firmware update (v1.43 updating to v1.62).  Trying to do so through the web settings the update appeared hung after an hour. 

 

I downloaded the update from the Buffalo website and set about updating from that.  I followed the force firmware update proceedure but again that didn't work and it gave me ACP_STATE_FAILURE.  I dropped the firewalls and still the same error and also tried to rebuild the partitions. 

 

I checked out a this forum topic http://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/Storage/ACP-State-Failure-After-trying-to-flash-Firmware-Now-locked-out/td-p/29749 as it seemed related but I wasn't prepared to go google ACP issues since I had literally just bought the LS-VL and there's nothing on it.

 

I seem to be able to access the LS-VL as it is intended to be used having copied files over (I have not however set up web access or tried the LS-VL that way... thought one thing at a time).  I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit.

 

Any help with getting a solid blue light on this LS-VL would be most apreciated!
