Question posted by benmreardon on February 2nd, 2013

Startup Failure?

The goflex start up LED continues to flash. I have left it on for hours. Have disconnected it, checked power, attached new ethernet cable, hard drive disconnect / reconnected etc. Yet when I turn it on it remains flashing and does not progress past this stage, which from the manual appears to be the start up process. Any views? All I can think of at this stage is returning it to the shop where I got it.
