Looking for a ReadyNAS NV+ model RND4000v3 for sale
Hello, My ReadyNAS NV+ model RND4000v3, does not boot properly (falls in an infinite loop). I want to find the same model, so that I can install my current disks on it. Does someone have such a un...

Are you sure this isn't due to a drive problem? It could also be memory or maybe the PSU.
Note that the v3 bit is just a small hardware revision - this is the original NV+, not the arm-based NV+ v2. Any NV+ or NV that says "ReadyNAS NV+" on the front panel is compatible. NAS with "ReadyNAS NV+ v2" on the front panel are not.
Thank you so much for the reply.
On the front it says NV+
On the back is this:
I have also uploaded a video of the issue I have here:
I have tried all the stuff the helpdesk people said, but the fact that this model is no longer supported did not help...
Any ideas?
What, if anything, does the display say during this? You may want to remove the protective film on it so you can read it better. Does it behave any differently if you start it up with no drives installed?
The screen is blank/dead. It seems it fails at the very start of the booting process, before even it displays the "Booting" message on the screen.
Makes no difference if there are drive(s) inserted or not.

If so, you could first try reseating the memory. If that doesn't help, you could try replacing it.
Check the label on the RAM in your system, but I think these (or something equivalent) will work:
- https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-512MB-PC2700-200-Pin-SODIMM/dp/B003062O0A
- https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-ReadyNAS-RND4250-RND4450-Tech/dp/B00VRAQ6SC
FYI, stock NV+ systems came with 256 gb
Thank you, this is an extremely useful document!
I wish tech support had sent me this!
Why do you say though that it is the SODIMM?
It is the 1st light that blinks and then all together.
Which is not on this list.

I agree that the sequence doesn't match anything on the list. But all leds flashing does show up at the completion of the memory test. Then in your video it immediately restarts. So I was thinking memory was the most likely cause. But it could be something else.
The other things you could try are
- replacing the PSU (assuming this is really a power issue)
- doing a USB recovery (assuming the issue is corrupted flash)
Those are about the only thing you can do with the hardware.

I'm astounded that you were able to get anyone in tech support. The NAS had been end-of-support for years, and there is almost no one in support who has any training on ReadyNAS.
