TeraStation Pro - Firmware and access Issues - Buffalo no help!!

Tags: terastation, pro, firmware, buffalo
My Terastation Pro has been working like a charm for about 8 months. Without having changed anything, this morning it did not register as a network drive and was not accessible via browser management. There is no obvious disk failure (all disk LEDs are green). The Terastation boots normally. The LCD does not show the firmware version but displays something like =========. I can ping the Terastation and it responds. The client utility shows me that the name of the station has been set back to TS-TGL-EM from the name I had given it. The client utility further shows me that the Terastation is not part of a workgroup (it was until yesterday) and has no firmware (it shows ----- where usually the firmware version is displayed). I can not access the Terastation via webbrowser. As the thing was packed with data ( approx 1.4 Gig) I would very much appreciate any advise on how I can access the unit. I have contacted Buffalo, and like all other vendors, they were of no help at all. I have a second Terastation and my idea was to simply put all 4 drives from the one into the other to at least have the possibility to backup the data to a file server. Will that work or am I going to ruin my second Terastation as well? Need HELP on this ASAP. Thanks so much, Soupy
