Do you mean that there is no sign of power anywhere (no lights on the front, no leds showing on the NIC(s) in the rear)?
If so, your power supply has likely failed. It is possible to replace it ( Sandshark is a good resource on your options there).
You can also get a new OS-6 x86 NAS (RN300 or better). You can't just migrate the disks to OS6, but you can temporarily mount the NVX data volume so you can back it up. https://kb.netgear.com/29957/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-2-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6-x86
Correct no power. I oredered a new PS last night asfter posting this.
If you bought a stock supply, you will need to modify the pinout. Here's a thread that might me useful: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/Power-supply-failure-and-replacement-on-NVX/td-p/894812
