Hey, looking for some insight/help into an issue with my Freenas Mini, I've had it for a few years, never had any issues. I powered it down and unplugged the device because I was having some remodeling done on my house, 2 weeks later once the work was done I plugged it back in, hit the power button and... nothing. The fan doesn't spin, it doesn't even try to boot. The lights on the motherboard all come on, the indicator light comes on when i plug in the ethernet, but otherwise nothing happens. At first I was thinking it was the PSU but with the motherboard lights coming on it seems unlikely? I've checked all the plugs on the motherboard, nothing was loose unplugged, the power switch wire is still plugged into the mobo. I don't use it enough to justify buying a new one, but i'd rather not lose all my data and use of the device. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, assuming this is a FreeNAS mini based on the Asrock C2750 D4I motherboard, I expect that the motherboard has died as a result of the Intel Avoton fault. There is information in threads here:

Get in touch with iXsystems and ask about a replacement motherboard under warranty. They have been highly supportive of their customers (I was one) in the past. I have not seen a recent report that I recall.
Good luck.. Your drives (data) should be "good to go" in another working system.

I've emailed ixsystems, thanks for the heads up. I had read about the issue and was actually just looking at my mobo model and it does match ( of course). I tried the board with another PSU and it still won't post/boot so that eliminates the PSU option.
