hi, my name is Ariel. Im from argentina and i landed here after trying almost everything on my little white box to get my files back.

was fine till 2 nights ago, blackout on my house... Everything start up when light come back, everything but the cloudbox. Blue light speedy blinking. Turn off button dont work, pull the wire. It start up blinking very fast for a long time. Turn off again.

Tried factory reset with the reset button, start blinking again... then blink red and blue... after 2 min solid red light. !"$%"#!$!#%&!"#!

pull the wire, tried the "push the on/off button, plug the wire, wait till red light release the button, then push it again"... now it start blinking very fast and after a few seconds it blinks blue but slow.
I let the drive "work" for 24 hours, nothing happens. Also check the dhcp table on router, the mac never came up. Cant reach the last know ip, and ping didnt respond on 192.168.1.252 either (the disk was on dhcp mode). tried angry ip scanner, all my devices came up but the disk didnt.

dissasemble the enclosure.
My cloudbox is a 3tb with seagate barracuda on it. I test the drive and is responsive, connected to a win8.1 pc, in disk administrator apears the disk and a lot of unredeable partitions. The last one of them is 2.9x tb. Seems to be linux partitions to me, so i upload the ext2 driver.

after that, i tried diskinternals linux reader and ext2explore with no luck. But the disk spins and SMART is ok. dont remember the name of the partition but said raid partion in properties.

Put the disk inside the box again, tried the factory reset. After that again the red light. Pull the wire, put the wire on again... and again, fast blinking blue light, after a few sec goes to slow blue blinking led.

Tried the fvdw-sl console with firewall and antivirus off. Only 1 ETH up with cable directly to router. Loaded standalone kirkwood. The console message "waiting for u-boot...." plug in the wire on the box, start blinking... but nothing happens, the "waiting for u-boot......" never ends.

so, now im here. Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my english.
