First dust off any dust with a soft bristle brush that maybe on the board. Then use de-natured alcohol with some cotton swabs around areas that seem dirty or may have burned or scorched traces.  The re-solder any exposed traces and component connections.

cstickman. Your sending the board to us would only work if you are resident in the EU, any other country and import/export problems crop up.

I would add one thing to FurryNutz's comment about re-soldering - use a temperature controlled iron with a very fine tip and a cored solder 1mm or less in diameter.  Also be certain that any solder you add does not bridge tracks or components.

Another thing, if you have a university or college nearby that has an electronics department you may be able to get someone there to check the board for you.

I actually found a place online that would look at the board for free.  You just have to ship it to them and then they will give you a quote of how much to fix and what is wrong with the unit.  I am going to try the spray first and see if I can narrow down the problem.  If not then maybe I will send to them to repair.

Were you able to get the board fixed?

I have the same issue (I put the nas in the fridge when a reboot is needed) so if anyone can update this thread...

Have you tried placing a laptop cooler fan under the DNS while in operation?
