ReadyNAS NVX (RNDX4210)
My ReadyNAS NVX (RNDX4210) no longer could boot up. After power up, the fan rev up in highspeed mode and staying in this mode forever, without going through normal boot up sequence. There's no display...
It's most likely a hardware issue, not a firmware one. If it is firmware, USB recovery is what you need, not OS re-install.
But to be honest, your best bet is to replace the NVX. You can choose another (used) ReadyNAS, or we can help you with ways to recover your data from the drives if you choose to go with another brand of NAS. There is a way to use an OS6 based NAS for data recovery, or you could purchase another legacy ReadyNAS running 4.2.x and just move the drives over. For any kind of data recovery, you'll need a place to put the data. Moving to a replacement ReadyNAS will likely make data recovery unnecessary. But when your NAS died, it could have corrupted the volume in the process and recovery will still be needed.
As for what the problem could be, most likely the power supply. But it may be something else. IMHO, it's not worth the cost of a replacement supply to repair an NVX (with it not being able to handle drives >2TB nor be upgraded to OS6) and certainly isn't worth a risk buy of one in case that isn't it.
