Replacement power supply, who sells them?
Hi I purchased a ReadyNAS NV+ in 2009 which has been my main backup system until very recently. It started giving signs of power supply frailty so I have just installed a bigger better faster NAS...

This remains a point of confusion for a lot of people. Here we call your NAS an "NV+ v1". It uses a sparc processor; while the NV+ v2 uses ARM. There were some minor hardware revisions over it's life, you have hardware revision 3. There's more information on unit identification here: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/

Regardless of the model number this unit is out of warranty by some years. Does anybody sell a suitable replacement power supply? The Netgear support site doesn't make it very easy to find out if it's possible for me to obtain one from them.
There are a couple, but they are expensive. Google for RND4PSU1 replacement. Here is one: http://www.evercase.co.uk/CompatibilityListReadynas.htm
There are cheaper options if you are willing to modify the pinout on a stock supply (or on an extension cable). This thread has more information: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/Inexpensive-power-supply-replacement-for-legacy-4-bay-Readynases/m-p/1016241#M13476
If you are getting rid of the NV+ after you migrate the data, pretty much any ATX supply (with an extender cable) will do, since it doesn't need to fit inside the case.

Thank you so much, that's awesome.
I've just looked at the Evercase option but I could hardly be further away (I'm in NZ, they're in the UK). Given that tonight's explosion might have done more serious damage than simply wiping out the PSU I'm loth to buy an expensive lookalike from far far away if there is a cheaper local option. That other thread may have saved me a lot of money :-)
