When doing like showed, the rack started but shutdown as soon as I removed the multimeter's shunt. We had to plug off the main power cable, do the shunt on the transistor with power off. I think it "purged" something. Then put back the main power cable and everything worked. Note : we do not use the 2 PSU together from now, on this faulty rack, we only use 1 power cable to avoid the transistor bug again.
I'm up the creek without a paddle. Anyone know where a schematic of this board with chips or a replacement board is? The fix was temporary to me. i think i have other boot problems now. Cant find anything anywhere
This happened to my synology too. We can get it to start with this trick but as soon as I take off my paperclip the system dies. The fans are full speed and the blue LED blinks fast. It did great for 7 years and died when we moved it.
An update: So I removed and boxed my old Rackstation in the new Rackstation box. A few weeks later, I took it out, powered it up on my test bench, and it worked perfectly. Still is powered on and rebooted several times, runs great.
@@TerixZT So potentially, just needs time to discharge. Sigh. Really wish Synology would get more reliable on unexpected power interruptions. It's where they are needed most.
Just did this trick and it worked like a charm!!

Same here... fixed mine as well :)

Same. Just won't work when I pull the clip.
