ReadyNAS Pro - Replace CPU Fan
The 80mm CPU fan on my ReadyNAS Pro Business NAS is starting to go. This is an early model that arrived with the CPU three pin header connected to the daughter board, as opposed to the main board. ...
Rather unlucky to blow after just 3 years, they have 5 year warranty so you could actually have got a new chassis or latest equivilent from Netgear.
BTW, did you make the changes to the molex connectors as details above?
Yeah, I saw I could quickly replace the PS for $50 (including ATX ext cable), so I took that route instead of dealing with Netgear warranty support and shipping the unit. I've owned many ReadNAS units over the years. Having a PS die after only 3 years is a first.
Yes, I did the molex switchout for all 3 connectors...the task was fairly painless.
I wish I could have had less ATX cable swimming around inside the unit...and was unable to route the cable behind the black plastic guide due to the extension, but temps inside are the same as pre-swap, so it's all good.
has anyone that has done one of these power supply replacements noticed that the unit does not stay in sleep mode for more thatn 30 seconds?
I replaced my supply with this one:

and the unit goes to sleep on schedule but then wakes right up again.
I have a Pro BE and a Pro6 that both have replacement supplies (I bought one unit knowing it needed one), and both go to slep perfectly well. They did when they were on OS 4.2.x, and do on OS6.4.2 as well.
