Reviving a failed Synology NAS (RS2416RP+ )

[@ralphdogland7939]

Thanks

[@ansarthar3047]

Thanks a lot. I have repaired RS2416+ Just now. This is very helpful video and fixed my work NAS. Synology was suggested to buy new NAS(mother board is not available) and re-configure raid, which is expensive. You saved me. Thanks again!

[@meghanajhansi677]

Thank you for the video, revived our RS2416rp+!!

[@grzegorz9039]

Thank you for this video, we have the same model of this NAS from synology at work and the last time we turned it off, it wouldn't restart anymore and we had the same symptom as we had run out. After watching this video, we became aware of the problem and proceeded to repair by adding a resistor according to your recommendations, the whole operation was successful and as a result our NAS started up correctly with all the data. Thanks again and best regards.

Glad to hear that it helped. Do keep in mind that this is meant as a temporary fix that works around the defect in the Intel Atom CPU. It will eventually fail again and will be unrepairable. It may work for a month, it may work for a year. But at least you can access the data that was stored on it.

[@Nyrix1]

I can't belive this actualy worked but it did! Thank you for sharing this information!

[@goobernoodles]

Hey thanks man. I just had TWO RS2416RP+ fail pretty much simultaneously. I'm going to give this a shot.

[@SunkCostGarage]

Hope it brings them back long enough to recover data. They may last awhile longer afterwards, though. The one from this video still works for me.

[@Fmofdeath]

Of course I find this video specific the the Synology we run after I no longer need it. I saw this mentioned for different models and give it a shot. The only difference was that every single one of our hard drive bays were red, the first row was not green. This still worked! :)

[@naitox351]

Many thanks from France. Just fixed mine with a 330ohm I had in stock

[@armswar1]

Thank you so much! It really works, i fixed my RS2416RP+

[@kslim]

Hi, thanks for your video. It works. Revived my RS2416!

[@immisoraz2743]

This resolved our issue! Thanks a lot! Was a little sceptical about it at first but seems like the risk is worth taking! Thanks for the kind solution!!!

[@LoKoMurdoK]

Funciono perfectamente! resistencia 100ohm en el pin 1 y 6 con una soldadura sencilla y básica. Todo levanto a la prefeccion.

[@gk3034]

I soldered it with 220ohm, everything worked!

[@BloomerzUK]

This actually bloody worked.. you saved my bacon! Purchasing a new NAS just in case it happens again though.

[@SunkCostGarage]

I'd definitely suggest considering a replacement for the unit. This is meant as a band-aid kind of fix. The NAS will work but who knows how long? Days, weeks, a year? The underlying flaw with the Intel Atom CPU still exists. This fix will at least give you a chance to migrate data on your schedule.

[@BloomerzUK]

@@SunkCostGarage I've purchased a new RS2421+, due for delivery next week :).

[@guidobluesky]

I had the same prob. today and your solution worked! Thank you so much!!

[@ilkertopcu3278]

I have the same unit and I had to do the same thing to fix it. Thanks for information.

[@Chanaka2205]

Thanks a lot. I have repaired RS2416+ Just now. This is very helpful video .thank you thank you 🥰🥰😀😀

[@SunkCostGarage]

Glad it helped!

[@stephanevegh5162]

I’ve used the .5w (1/2w) finally and it worked

[@jean-marcbord3886]

My rs2416+ had the same symptomae. I did the trick with a 100o 1206 and a tiny wire soldered on the back side of the motherboard.and YEEEEEEEESSSSS

[@MrFredrch77]

it works!!! thanks men you're the best!

[@LoKoMurdoK]

The solution is viable, it is not risky and it will lift your system immediately. Works for me! thanks!

[@corrtechit2901]

I have the same unit and I had to do the same thing to fix it. I’m now currently running DSM 7 and it found all my volumes as well.

[@SunkCostGarage]

It was neat how mine failed mid-update from DSM 6 to DSM 7 and after the repair, picked right up where it left off. I was expecting it to be bricked.

[@leexgx]

Just in case others thinking it was dsm7 omuts not just the cpu bad timing and failing, so much good Synology hardware I won't buy because it had this cpu also seems to affect the J1xxx cpus as well (not just c2000 cpus)

[@norriscampbell7217]

Thank you very much. worked like a charm

[@mikef9011]

Cool trick. The only thing I manage to salvage from work is an old bookshelf or file cabinet.

[@keysoft4651]

I had the same problem,but my lan card is dead. I dont know how repair

[@PlaywithJunk]

Thank you for the video. I just repaired a RS2416RP+ after watching it. Worked perfectly and saved many $$$ for us and the customer. This repair method is confirmed! 🙂 I just wonder what that 100 Ohm resistor does. How critical is that value? Would a 0 Ohm jumper or a 1kOhm resistor work too?? I have to investigate that a little more... BTW: It is not necessary to remove the mainboard from the chassis. Just put the resistor into the holes 1+6 and solder from the top side.

[@BloomerzUK]

Should really solder it in though, just in case it moves

[@larrydoyle907]

interesting - I have a 2414 with the exact symptoms - if it is a chip failure would replacing the processor fix it? will try this fix

[@SunkCostGarage]

I can't really speak to the different model of NAS. The issue was tied to a specific faulty Intel atom cpu model. These Intel atoms are soldered directly to the motherboard so I do not believe replacement is an easy option. Certainly not upgradeable like a socketed cpu.

[@ctbram0627]

Tested power supply it is fine. tried the 1kohm transistor fix and it did not fix it. The unit is just dead and will not power up!

[@techinfo4114]

i used the same method on NAS (RS2416RP+ ) but it doesn't work. i have the same issue also

[@jammstudiosmusic]

It looks like you left the drives in while you did the work, and left them in while firing it back up. and all your data remained intact? i have a similar issue with mine so hoping to try this but don't want to risk losing data. thanks in advance

[@SunkCostGarage]

Correct. If you specifically have the Intel Atom CPU issue that plagued many of this era of device, and the lights on the front are doing a similar thing with a no-boot situation, this fix might work around the issue long enough for you to migrate the data off of it safely. If it fails, in some cases you can get an identical unit and swap the drives over directly. (The partition information is stored on the drives, not the device.)

[@jammstudiosmusic]

@@SunkCostGarage Thanks for the info. we had the power light flashing green, the alert light flashing red, and the drives with flashing amber lights. our unit is an RS815+. Synology just said its out of warranty and its a main board failure, buy a new one. but thinking we could try this after checking everything with a multimeter?

[@SunkCostGarage]

@@jammstudiosmusic I'm not 100% sure if the process and symptoms are identical for the 1U NAS but there's a forum post in the description of the video where I got much of the information on the issue. You might reference that thread to make sure before attempting. I believe the main boards are very similar though.

[@phstacks12]

I have a DS1515+. It will run but just lose network connectivity. A reboot will make it available again for about 2 hours or so, then network lost. The logs show the system is running even after network is lost as missed backups are logged. Is this similar to what others are seeing?

[@SunkCostGarage]

This sounds like a different issue altogether. The Intel Atom CPU issue specifically causes the unit to not power on or not boot. Defective integrated network card, perhaps?

[@stephanevegh5162]

hey guys, the Synology said 100R / 100 ohm 1/4 watt (0.25w) and you said 100R / 100 ohm 1/2 watt (0.5 w). Which one is good ? I don't want to make mistakes :) Thanx.

[@meghanajhansi677]

Hey, what did you use? I am thinking the same...

[@sudhirtrehan4996]

hi i have RS2416RP+ . it's orange light is blinking and there is no light on LAN ports ( all 4 ports ). can this 100 ohm resistance bring my synology device back to life again ?

[@SunkCostGarage]

I'm not sure if that's the same failure that this fixes. The resistor fixes the issue with the 3 red lights and 9 green lights.

[@MrFredrch77]

does anyone know if this fix last???

[@SunkCostGarage]

The underlying CPU design flaw is still there. It could last a day, a week, a month, who knows? Long enough to get your data migrated to something else, though.

[@ctbram0627]

ds1815+ came with 100ohm c2xxx fix new from synology! They have replaced three of mine now. They just keep sending a new unit until your warranty expires then you are fucked and lose all your data! I have a 60TB f-iong brick that will not power up!!!!

[@MrKikkN]

Our customer nas just crashed, just need to buy a 100 Ohm resistor and i will try😀

[@setwsetw8268]

Thank you from Russia! It's help me) Amazing gide.
