Replacing the supply is pretty easy: Remove sides and top cover. Remove system fan panel. Unplug all connectors. Remove plastic channel that holds 24-pin cable in place. Remove screws at power supply and switch. Work supply out. Remove external power connector from internal (wires do pull off, but mine took a lot of wiggling and pulling). I think I may have removed the memory to make it easier to remove and install the 24-pin connector, too. I cut short the supply hard drive wires and installed the right-angle Molex connectors from the old supply to keep the air flow unrestricted and just to look cleaner, but you don't have to. I also cut off the "ears" of the extender so it would lie flat between the motherboard and side, and taped it down with double-sticky foam tape.

Thanks for the great description for the Readynas Pro power supply replacement. How were you able to disconnect the power supply cable from the molex right angle connector and afix the old molex connector to the new power supply cable?

On mine, the right-angle Molex connectors were just push-on. They have a cap that covers the back that you have to remove first. They may have made a change somewhere along the way to make re-using the old ones harder. But you can get those type connectors on eBay, too.

Hi all

I am also having this same issue. I turned mine off when going on holiday for a couple of weeks and now it will not turn on at all.

I am not familur with which power supply i should order. Would this be the correct one?

  That one might fit, but the original supply was a Seasonic SS-300SFD. Connectors are a bit different (not sure if Netgear custom-ordered or if the supply I/O changed with the times). You'll want a short 24-pin extender and an SATA->4 pin molex adapter if you go with the current Seasonic. Both are readily available and inexpensive.
