Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ (RND4000 V3) has died
Hi, everyone I was hoping for some advice, please. My Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ (RND4000 V3) has died. It fails to switch on and boot. I've checked the PCU which is dead. I believe it is beyond the cos...

Sandshark Thanks, for responding. I may go with trying to get a similar unit? First.
I found a guy selling a second-hand one, the only difference was it had a power switch on the back PSU? Which made me wonder if it was modified. The seller didn't know as he was given it by his work years ago.
Failing that I could try the other routes you mention, I did something similar when I created a Linux boot drive to recover a single disk for a friend of mine. Though I will have to source some parts, as I have had several clearouts over the years and have literally nothing lying around.
Thanks again for your help.
Kindest regards,
James

I believe some were manufactured with rear switches. I honestly don't remember if any of mine did, but there are more than one on eBay that have them, and it's clearly not some modification hack. Netgear may have had two different suppliers. Or maybe the switch, or lack of one, is the difference on one of the three hardware versions.

Thanks for your help. I bought a similar second-hand model and put my drives straight in and booted up with no problems.
The only issue I have now is the http & https SSL issue to access front view. But at least I can access my files over wifi for now.
Kindest regards,
James

You can download a copy of Firefox 78.9.0esr release that will still allow you to access the ReadyNAS using TLS 1.0.Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/78.9.0esr/ (mozilla.org)
It's also possible to update the certificate and software but a lot more complicated than having a back level browser sitting around.
I also had my power supply on my NVX go. I bought a power supply from the UK and fitted it myself, it was very simple.++Mark.

FWIW, you don't have to go back that far. Firefox 94.0.2 will also work (and perhaps a slightly newer releases also).
