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
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:

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
Thanks for letting me know.
There are two other options aren't there?
1. Run a larger sized PS outside the case
2. I read somewhere about a PS that is compatible in size but needs the wires changed?
The drawing showing the two connectors and the difference in wiring vs. a standard ATX connector didn't make it clear what you changed to make it compatible?
I didn't mean to sound I was shy of a soldering iron as I am building an electric trike, but I couldn't figure out what I needed to do from the info I found.
Thanks so much!
