Won't boot: Ethernet light slow blink and clicking
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2023 6:53 pm
Hello!
I've had the latest fvdw-sl installed for a few years and have had great success with it on my cloudbox.
Recently I unplugged my cloudbox for a few weeks, and when I plug it back in to power + ethernet, the drive does not spin up, but instead just slowly flashes the green ethernet light and emits a quiet 'click', every few seconds in time with the light.
I've checked the power supply and it's putting out ~12v, so I think that is good. But I'm a bit stumped as to what to do next. Is my drive dead? Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
