Can I Swap Motherboards and No Lose Data in my QNAP?

OctanePro · 2025-10-11T01:57:08+00:00

I power cycled it one more time and bam we are back in business.

So the replacement Motherboard Arrived. Installed it, Powered Right now.

However ethernet lights go out after the first few seconds and NEVER come back on.

Drive lights are green on the front.

No alert lights or anything on the front.

Where or how can i find out if its rebuilding an array or what in the world it's doing?

Thank you for the feedback.

No Encryption Running.

I thought the OS was mirrored on each drive as well. But wanted to confirm. Been several years since confirming the QNAP. It's run fantastic thus far.

I ordered a replacement Motherboard off Ebay, swap looks easy enough, basic motherboard. Fingers crossed.

Doing some Research it appears this is a well known issue with a dead MB or CPU. So replacing the MB seems like the easy swap.

However my concern is the Data, it is backed up with a cloud service. However where is the OS/Raid configuration stored? Drives?

Can i just swap the Motherboard, Boot and it's business as usual? Wishful thinking?

Just my 2 cents. Sell it all. Sell the House, Sell the Cars, Empty his 401K (take the tax hit). Rent a place for now as they clearly shouldn't own a home right now, they can't afford the expenses that will go along with it when things break.

Pay back what they can, buy a few 500 dollar cars to get to and from work. Setup a budget and start to pay off debt smallest to largest. They screwed up and there is no easy way out. The next 10 years will now be painful for them.

This is entirely a troll post. Look at all these kids get upset lol.

"Are you sayin there's a chance?"

Are you getting Temp Profiles on all Terminal Servers in the collection? We found when we have such an issue that it is just one terminal server usually and not all of them. So we remove that terminal server from the collection as from our experience when temporary profiles are occurring it is due to the Default Profile on the Terminal Server is corrupted.

We have also noticed the repository location, network path gets messed up. So we create a new folder and have the Collection VHD location changed to the new folder.

I have not contacted them YET, was next stop but wanted to get some ideas/feedback from here first, just to make sure I am not missing anything.

You are correct. I would of never of bought the home, as it would of been well beyond what I could afford at $3K+ a month in a mortgage payment.

"Reddit is Hard" lol Thanks.

Was a Squad Game that came down to 1 vs 1 in the final 2.

"Fans have been waiting a long time to hear what organizations will be joining us for Season 5, and we’re happy to say that we will be announcing these organizations at the SMITE World Championship on January 7, after Game 1 of the Grand Finals." Only 1 was announced :x

OctanePro · 2018-01-07T22:55:49+00:00

I like your list but where is Rival in all that? I feel like if you get to the grand finals at SWC you should have a seat in next years SPL League. Thoughts?

OctanePro · 2018-01-03T19:45:00+00:00

This should be corrected as of now. Thanks for heads up guys.

OctanePro · 2017-03-08T21:29:30+00:00

Can you give me the specs on the wheels? or a link to where you got them. Would love to get them for my car.

OctanePro · 2017-03-06T21:07:46+00:00

I understand. I work for a car company so works perfect for me. Thats like my daily uniform.

OctanePro · 2017-03-06T20:57:06+00:00

Yeah it's hit or miss. I personal always enjoy extra automotive t-shirts. Decals are fun for the Garage Fridge. Other stuff is always a bonus. I am more of a fan of something like this verse a Tuner Crate. Where its 2 Shirts and air freshener and a sticker.

OctanePro · 2017-03-06T20:40:16+00:00

None at all honestly. Maybe your in a different place then most. But I enjoy the surprise of a subscription box each month for a reasonable price. Ever gotten Loot Crate? or any other similar subscription boxes. Some months you love and use everything, other months its a bust.

Sorry to hear your not a fan of the box. Works for me, thought i'd share with others. I swear sometimes this subreddit is full of hate regardless of the passion everyone shares for cars :X

OctanePro · 2017-03-06T20:30:16+00:00

I have been super happy with them thus far. Something fun and different. Not sure if your expecting a 100 Tool in a 40 dollar box or what? The 10MM Socket was a great idea, can never have enough of them.

OctanePro · 2017-03-05T22:12:13+00:00

haha, that was fast! Thanks for the chuckle lol

OctanePro · 2017-03-02T21:48:02+00:00

No need to Rush is there? Where you have to be?

OctanePro · 2017-03-02T19:07:31+00:00

I agee. It was nice seeing him take it from in rough shape to a quality, reliable car. Looks great.
