ReadyNAS NVX will not power on
Model: ReadyNas NVX 4220 Firmware: 4.2.28 Issue: no power I had to move my ReadyNAS NVX and I powered it down successfully. I opted to have it do a scan on next power up. Later, when I ha...
Yes, the NVX uses a Mini-ITX, aka Flex ATX, form factor power supply like that one; and you do not need, nor is there room for, an extension cable. It does have a different pin-out, even though it has a standard looking ATX connector, so be warned. Search the forum for "legacy power supply" for a more complete message from me and use the pin-out from the reply (original link is no longer valid). That 250W one does have sufficient 12V power per the listed specs.
ah never mind about the guide. Realized there was a screw under a void warranty sticker. Well it's out of warranty anyway so I peeled it off and whoala, a hidden screw.
ok now back to finding a replacement for this..

Thanks for the info.
Since I can sometimes be absent minded with things (such as I almost mixed up the order of my HD's!) I'm okay paying a lilttle more for a power supply if it saves me from adapting the pin config (and subsequently frying my NAS if I do it incorrectly).
So I purchased an adapted power supply from a company in the UK that seem to have found a niche in making these supplies. Found them through amazon:
NETGEAR Spare Power Supply Unit for Readynas Nv & Nv+
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W3X480/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Just a follow up.
I received the power supply, popped it into my NVX, plugged it in and I instantly heard that heavenly hum of the fan and HD's spinning up! Back in business baby! (i.e. My old power supply was burned out. The amazon one I ordered was a perfect fit for the NVX and it worked.)
