Synology External Storage: Synology DS418 - Power button turns blue for 4 to 5 seconds then off

Thu, 11 May 2023 07:06:46 -0700

Trying to troubleshoot my DS418, I have seen that most peoples issue with their Synology NAS is the blue blinking light, my issue is that when I try to turn on, the blue light only stays on between 4 to 5 seconds , then the light goes back off. The device never actually turns on, no fans turning, no sound or beeps. I have tried removing all the drives, and different working power supplies, still the same result. Any help will be appreciated. I have also replaced the CR2032 battery.

Synology DiskStation DS1520: Synology DS 1815+ will not power on

Sat, 05 Apr 2025 18:13:48 -0700

Hi Synology DS 1815+ will not power on and it is out of warranty.

I have seen online that a soldering a transistor and/or failing that replacing the psu would fix it.

Can anyone share a guide on steps to soldering the transistor as well as replacing the psu, and details where a compatible transistor and psu can be purchased?

Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.

Synology External Storage: Ethernet repair ideas for an old DS213j?

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 00:57:34 -0700

The 1GB ethernet port quit working after a close lightning strike. The unit still operates using the ethernet port at the 100 Mbps rate, though. Everything else in the DS213j seems fine, other than that ethernet port. Any ideas on what might have died and, more importantly, could I find and fix whatever stopped working? Trying to use the NAS at 10% of its previous connection speed is an exercise in frustration! Thanks.

Synology External Storage: Need component detail and circuit diagram for missing reset button

Thu, 13 Jan 2022 12:17:12 -0700

As per image - in a previous heavy handed RESET with an overlong paperclip, i have managed to break the reset switch from the motherboard.

I need some details of a suitable component and then the wiring / orientation for the four pins that will need soldering.

Alternatively, if someone knows how to temporarily short these four pins out then that would also be helpful, eg clockwise from top left 1 - 4, do I need to be jumping 1 to 3 or 3 to 4 or whatever.

Thanks,

Michael

Synology Disk Station DS220: Reset Button on Synology 220+

Tue, 02 May 2023 05:28:28 -0700

Hi, I've been reading your instruction on dismantling the Synology 220+, my question is. I 've clumsily pressed the reset button too hard and the is no resistance now so I feel I 've need to follow the dismantling instructions, can you tell me at what point on your instructions will I have access to the compartment where the reset button is housed to assess the damage, to repair.
