Intel’s Atom C2000 chips are bricking products – and it’s not just Cisco hit
My Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) stopped working last night and it would not power back up. I did some google searches and found a simple 100 ohm resistor on the motherboard would bring it back!
I had to break out the solder iron and ohm meter, took about an hour but the fix worked!
This was a DS415+ that has served me well for 10 years now. This thread helped me revive the device that had failed to boot up.

Who remembers RadioShack?
Not the best solder job but there are no bridged traces. I considered trying to clean up the solder a bit but after testing everything looked good so I just left it as is.
