Hi there,

I have a Mo04 3TB Linkstation that was in EM mode (not sure why it was in that mode as it was left off for ages)
Anyway, after reading some help topics, I decided to re-flash it. Navigator 2 found it in EM mode and LS updater tried to flash it.
The problem is that part way through the flash process, a message come up to say that it could not see the device and now I cannot find it using Navigator 2 at all.

Is it recoverable ?

Is there anything I can try ?

Many thanks

TK

If the LED is flashing then it will be in a pattern, a number of flashes, pause, a number of flashes and continuously repeated. How many times does it flash?
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.
Having network issues? Drop me an email: info@interwebsireland.com and we will get it fixed!

Have i helped you? Buy me a coffee as a thanks!

Hi Davo,

Thanks for your reply. I've figured out what the problem is, the HDD has completely died. It was on it's way out when I tried to flash it, so I need to replace it before going any further. The device itself belongs to a mate, so will see what he wants to do before spending more time on it.

Cheers
