The bad software on my old Lacie nas
Running on Windows XP SP1 embeded and Java 2
Was a pain to restore she I broke something

That needs replacing with Linux or BSD.

@d4ng3r0u5 going to do that as soon as I find out how they did the ready light

@inpothet Boot it from USB or something and see if there's anything in /sys/class/gpio or /sys/class/leds.

On my NAS, which is ARM based and had Linux to start with, I replaced the stock one with Debian. I wrote a shell script to check the GPIO for the power button every 3s and shutdown if it's held down for 2 checks in a row.

There might also be stuff attached with I2C, like fan controls and sensors.

Someone might have hacked that model already, of course.

@d4ng3r0u5 sadly nobody hacked it, as far as I can see it's a 9pin header like an internal USB that has 2 wires going to an led

@d4ng3r0u5 o God they use the internal comport
