Suddenly one night my unit just stopped - cannot start again
Reg.: RND2000v2 (ReadyNAS Duo v2) – Diskless A couple of days ago my unit stopped working, it powered off somehow. Now I cannot start it again using the power button. I have tried taking out the pow...
I managed to backup both my 2 TB disks although it was a huge job taking a couple of days. I merged the data from the disks to prepare it for my new NAS Server which will be delivered later this week.
There is a good chance it's the power supply that's gone bad. You can test it's output, but that's not really a very effective test without a load. A risk buy of a replacement supply is something you should consider.
There are methods of recovering data from the unit, but you cannot do so directly from Windows. How you go about that depends on whether or not you have a "real" V2. Netgear used a "v2" designation on a sticker with some units that had a simple hardware difference but are still referred to here as a V1. A "real" V2 is an entirely different machine, labeled as a V2 on the front of the unit, having an RND2000-200 (as opposed to -100) part number, and running OS version 5.x (as opposed to 4.1.x). So if you want information on how to recover, you need to confirm your NAS really is a V2 or if it's actually a V1.
You are quite right. I have just used a voltage-tester to check the output and it shows nothing - but it is the same result with a similar and working power supply, unfortunately.
I will look for a power supply replacement and then hope it wil
