NVX Business Edition RNDX4210 won't power on
I recently powered down NVX and removed cables and bays before unscrewing and removing sides and top covers and cleaning dust with compressed air can. I've done this successfully before, following a ...
The cheapest way is to modify the cable pinout yourself to adapt it to the NVX. http://www.readynas.com/download/archive/pdf/ReadyNAS_PSU_pinout.pdf
This isn't the cheapest, but avoids that hurdle and should fit: http://www.evercase.co.uk/CompatibilityListReadynas.htm £60 excl VAT&PP
It's possible you damaged something, but probably not with the air. Maybe bumped into something?
Or, and it sounds a lot like it could be this, it's not something you did other than turn it off. If the power supply is going to fail, it's usually going to do so on a power-on attempt. Same with a lot of other possibilities, but an NVX power supply is a little long in the tooth and a very likely candidate. The count of failed NV+ PSU's is growing here, and the NVX uses the same one and is of a similar generation.
I'm not able to upgrade or migrate right now due to finances and the fact that my NVX (my only NAS) won't power up, plus I need to get it running as soon as possible.
Sandshark, after posting initially I checked a few threads on the same issue, including posts by yourself, with mention of and link to correct PSU, setup, price, specs etc. I can't remember what was where or what applied to me. I'm UK based, if relevant to purchase and/or compatibility. If you could provide the best (and hopefully cheapest!) link to the specific PSU required, as well as required specs, it would be a god-send!
I recall reading nightmare details of PSUs that didn't quite fit, followed by mention of aluminium, duct tape, drilling holes in the casing. I have to avoid all of this at all costs!! :smileyfrustrated:

If the disks are fine, the array is fine and the volume it should be straightforward to use an ordinary x86 Linux machine to read the data at your own risk. You would need to install mdadm and lvm2 if they are not pre-installed. You should check disk health and the state of the RAID before trying to start the RAID using mdadm. Then scan for the volume group, activate the volume group and mount the volume read-only and backup the data.
You have multiple different options. For many using a new x86 ReadyNAS to mount the volume read only and backing up the data as explained in the article I linked to above would be simplest.

mdgm: Other than my NAS, I haven't made the leap yet of converting to Linux, so what you're proposing would be too ambitious for me at the moment. :robotfrustrated:
StephenB: Your second link states it doesn't come with a tray. Does that mean it just lays on the existing tray and slots into the back as displayed on the opening image of the embedded video of the link?
I notice also that the power cord would be inserted at 180° to its default position. Not an issue?
I also read about the additional fan, vent holes, blockage etc. Will there be additional strain, ease or no difference on the NAS as a whole?
Finally, for peace of mind, does this PSU fit perfectly and not have any of the issues I read on other threads requiring aluminium, duct tape etc.?

I haven't purchased this myself. Here's one post from a user who had no difficulty installing: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Probably-power-supply-issue/m-p/1178323/highlight/true#M120484
There are several other posters who reported success (using various NAS), I'm not seeing any of the issues you are concerned about on their threads. Of course I might have missed something - hopefully a community member who has used this supply in an NVX will chime in.
Hello,
I have a Pro Biz edition that took a couple reboots due to UPS issues. After the first power on it came up, the power went right down, then back up and the NAS didn't. I assume the PS and from what I read here, they are unavailable, but there is a similar PS that needs to be rewired?
I saw the schematic showing the wiring but although I am a part time rocket scientist, I am lost on what to do.
Is there some kind generous person who could make a replacement PS, for payment of course?
I have about 12TB of data, most of which I can't replace.
Help pleaes!
If you click on this link http://www.evercase.co.uk/PowerSupplyUnits.htm#ReadyNASPSU and then on the web page item 31 you can purchase a PSU, they ship worldwide
