I have an old Synology 1819 NAS that was the unfortunate victim of the Intel Atom/Clock bug. I would like to repurpose the case as I like the compact form factor. Has anyone tried replacing a synology mobo with something else (ex: an ITX board or a Raspberry Pi), and using an alternative operating system?

    Ahh I have one as well that is flaky I have the resistor fix and changed the other part and new psu. This will sound odd but if you warm up the motherboard side of the case with a hair dryer it should boot. Not hot just warm. It will just continue to work.

      I’m going to have to give the hair dryer trick a shot, I’d already migrated to a 1821, so I’m not sure if it’ll boot diskless…but getting a busted NAS to boot with a hairdryer, is too hilarious not to attempt 😂

      This might mean a failing capacitor. I had a MB that was similar. If it was a cold start it would not boot properly. When it was already warm it would boot first time no issue.
