This Cheap Resistor FIXED my $500 NAS!

I got a broken QNAP NAS from the company I work for, and it came with a really strange issue. The device wouldn’t boot at all, and at first, I thought the CPU was completely dead.

But after some digging, I found out the real problem wasn’t the CPU itself — it was a tiny component causing a weird design flaw. What’s crazy is that this entire NAS could be brought back to life with just a single resistor.

In this video, I’ll walk you through what happened, how I figured it out, and exactly how I fixed it. If you’ve got a QNAP NAS that won’t turn on, this might be the fix you didn’t know existed.

Let me know what you think, and if you’ve seen anything like this before!
