SNAP 4000 Motherboard desperately needed
Greetings All,
I'm in dire straits and would appreciate help from the SNAP community.
I have a SNAP 4000 in a RAID 5 configuration with a FSCK Fatal Error = 15. I have (trust me) run all possible fixes to recover this RAID, but to no avail.
Adaptec tech support has been of no help (NOTE: This not a slam, they just can't fix the problem). Apparently Fatal 15 is a controller issue. Adaptec does not provide replacement motherboards. Further, they cannot or will not check their boneyard (which I'm sure exists in either Milpitas or Denver) for a replacement motherboard that I could beg, borrow, buy, or steal. Before I send these drives to a data recovery company, I'd like to know if anyone has a working motherboard that I can borrow. If the motherboard is truly the issue, I should be able to swap it out with mine, boot the SNAP, and download my files.
Clearly I would not expect to receive this assistance for free. Nor would I expect someone to lend me their motherboard without some insurance on the hardware. Suffice it to say, I am willing to negotiate a reasonable arrangement and work with a safe financial harbor (i.e. PayPal) to provide peace of mind for both parties.
My motherboard is running SNAP OS 4.0.855, Hardware 2.0.1, BIOS 2.0.252. It will be necessary to have an exact match.
Please PM me if you are willing to assist.
Many thanks,
chris
