Was it properly shut down, or did she just pull the plug?

Try removing powering down, and remove the disks (labeling by slot).  Then power it up, and see if you get something on the LCD or in RAIDar.

    She just pulled the plug. I have removed and labelled the drives and it still just powers on with the fan spinning on high.  Holding the power button will turn it off, but it won't connect to my network and the lcd never come on.

    Thanks

      Ok.  So something obviously failed - not sure if it is one of the the power supply outputs or the system board.  Perhaps Sandshark can offer an informed guess.

       

      I think it is pretty likely that the RAID array is intact.  Are you going to need to off-load data?

       

      One option is to get a new OS-6 x86 ReadyNAS (RN300 series or better).  While you can't simply migrate the disks, you can temporaily mount the data volume so you can off-load it. There is some information on that here:  https://kb.netgear.com/29957/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-2-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6-x86

        Problem solved. Changed the battery on the motherboard and it booted normally and all drives intact.
