TS-453 PRO broken Flash memory - exchange with TS459 PRO+ ??

[hello_world68]

Hello guys,
unfortunately the flash memory of our QNAP TS-453 PRO does not work anymore
Is it possible to exchange it with the flash memory from a QNAP TS459 PRO+ I have left?

The main question is perhaps, whether the raid controller is echangeable?

I would appreciate any advice, thanks!

flash memory?

you mean the dom? .. a new one can be purchased (ebay,aliexpress,etc)

if you use a dom from a different qnap, you would have to do a firmware recovery

also qnap uses software raid ..no hardware controllers

Thank you dolbyman!
Yes, I mean the DOM. yes, i have look for new ones to purchase, but I thought maybe I can use the one from the TS459 Pro+ ?
Can you link me a site or give me an advice for a firmware recovery?

Sorry for the newbie questions, thanks!

Thanks, but the Hardware raid controller does not work anymore. So imo there is no way to use this method.
But besides of that, do you know whether I can use it from the other QNAP model i told? This would be great, so i can exchange it.

as said..there is no hardware raid

and if you reuse the dom from another NAS you will have to reflash it with above method

What are the symptoms, and how did you diagnose the DOM as the cause?

Is there any similarity with this :
