Synology Diskstation DS1515+ & DS1815+ No Power/ Power Button Unresponsive, Repair Kit and Instructions.

I am the original repair service for this on eBay, please kindly be aware that the seller in Portugal copied my idea and started providing the service over 1 year after me. I would kindly ask for you to use and support my service and not the Portuguese seller who stole me idea.

Has your DS1515+ or DS1815+ suddenly died and won't power up? Does your NAS unit not respond when you press the power button and none of the LEDs work? Did you replace the power supply and it still doesn't power up? Is the unit out of warranty? Are you lost in how your going to repair your NAS and get your data? Maybe save yourself the cost of a completely new drive? Maybe save yourself a lot of pain and worry thinking what your going to do?


This item is for the supply of clear instructions and for the replacement of the surface-mount component that will most likely repair your drive for the above symptoms. The pack comes with a spare component (2 in total). The repair requires safe electrical isolation of the NAS drive and the removal of the cover. The repair will consist of removing a surface-mount component and replacing it with a new one. The repair should take between 20-30 minutes from start to finish for a competent solderer. No major dismantling is required.

We cannot be held responsible for any mistakes made and although a straightforward easy repair, it should be carried out be someone competent in soldering. A soldering iron with a straight smallish conical tip, solder and tweezers, a magnify glass, good light, a steady hand and careful eye will be required to carry out the repair. You can supplement the soldering iron for a solder heat gun if you prefer or are experienced with this tool.


Please note that although this repair is likely to repair your NAS if it has the above symptoms, it is no guarantee as it is impossible to know and ascertain every eventuality and therefore cannot accept any liability if your NAS still doesn't work after.

Nevertheless, this repair has been reported by many as successful and should be viewed as a probable cause to the issues experienced and noted above.

International Delivery: Please note some countries do not provide signed service such as USA and Canada, therefore in these instances a tracking service is only available.


Update: 

Some people asking whether this is a resistor fix, It's not a resistor fix. I'm not aware of an issue relating to a resistor for power. This repair is a semi-conductor surface-mount electronic switching device repair, the power from the power supply should be good (but no LEDs or response) this is because the power isn't reaching the circuitry because it isn't switching within the motherboard circuitry. Due to this the surface-mount component has failed. That is why you see people on you tube powering up their drive with ATX power supplies and linking out pins, that is to overcome/bypass this issue. But if they were to replace this component, most likely their drive would work without external power supplies rigged up, linking pins and being unable to put the NAS casing cover on because of this.

It is recommended to replace the power supply also even if it appears good because the breaking down of the power supply changes the characteristics of the power supplied to the motherboard, in turn contributing to the semi-conductor surface-mount component failure on the motherboard. Quite often it can appear that the power supply is fine but actually these power supplies were obviously not that great when you consider them causing issues within the first few years from being new. If the power supply is a few years old and was the one initially shipped with the drive, it is advised to replace it with the recommended one, else you may risk component failure again some months later.

The power supplies are not that expensive.

It is also advised to make sure the NAS is sufficiently ventilated and not placed next to heat sources.
