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:
