Seagate Central Boot Up Failure (Constant amber light)

[chrisgaia]

Hi, My Saegate Central NAS suddenly stopped working and now shows constant amber light. I have gone through all the Seagate procedures to no avail. When when powering up you can her the process start then there are three mechanical type sounds (like a disk trying to spin?) and it stops and sleeps on amber light.

People have asked this question and then marked it as SOLVED without bothering to tell the community HOW IT WAS SOLVED!

Thanks

chrisgaia, you can get in touch with Seagate support here. Also, check out this link on TS steps.

If the drive clicks and then spins down, it is most likely a mechanical fault (heads or media or both). I would ask Seagate Tech Support if they will allow you to disassemble the unit and connect the drive to a SATA port in your computer.
