If you are looking for a new unit, It would be best if you can get a ReadyNAS OS 6 Unit like the RN426, RN526 or RN626. You can actually get your Data back by following this procedure.

If it doesn't, then the problem is likely the power supply (which can be replaced if you like).

You might also need a short ATA extender cable (4 inches should be enough).
This post was focussed on changing the CPU fan, but it should give you some idea of the steps needed to replace the supply: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/ReadyNAS-Pro-Replace-CPU-Fan/td-p/940499
