Apparently my ReadyNAS NV+ which I purchased on the 13/07/2007 when it was available under the Netgear brand in Australia, appears to have its serial number with in the range specified. Now I have the latest firmware installed on the unit which I assume has the minimum fan speed set so that the unit is kept cool. But is there any way of monitoring the PSU so I can keep an eye on it from time to time in order to pre-empt it possibly blowing up ? Should my PSU also be replaced regardless or should I just have a wait and see approach ? Thanks

I'm in the same situation. I've got a pre-netgear NV (now out of warranty) with a serial number in the danger range. I don't trust the thing (especially in a hot summer) so I don't even leave it on anymore when I'm not using it.

I see plenty of information as to how US customers go about getting help, but I tried Netgear Australia and they didn't have a clue.
