DS2415+ died, is it what I think it is? (The Atom thing)

My DS2415+ died today and it seems to be that Intel Atom thing that I have been waiting for to happen, but I thought I would check if anyone here can say with any certainty if I have the same problem or if it could be something else.

The problem appeared when attempting to start it up after a power loss due to bumping the power cable out of the UPS.

Symptoms:

* Blue power led and orange alert led blinking. * No beeping - it does not appear to get that far * Top left drive led (drive 1) shines green, no blinking * All other drive leds (both populated and empty bays) shine orange, no blinking * This goes on for a couple of minutes, then all lights turn off and it shuts down completely

Others have described that all drive leds were orange but this seems sufficiently similar to suspect that it is the same thing, right?

I read that the 100 ohm resistor fix may not last forever, so I will be migrating to a new unit sooner rather than later even if I am successful in fixing it. One option would be to buy a DS1821+ since the NAS is currently populated with only 7 disks.

In that case, is there any benefit in fixing the DS2415+ and checking if the RAID needs reparing after the ungraceful shutdown, or can I just as well move the disks to the new NAS using the [HDD migration](https://kb.synology.com/DSM/tutorial/How_to_migrate_between_Synology_NAS_DSM_6_0_HDD) procedure? The Synology website suggests HDD migration as a valid recovery path when the source NAS is broken, so hopefully it would work even if the preparatory steps on the source NAS are skipped. But maybe the chances of success will increase if I can do this when the DS2415+ has been resurrected?
