Good news! I replaced the SODIMM with a Crucial Technology CT12864X335 (Amazon item B0002VAQR4, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002VAQR4/) and the ReadyNAS is alive again! The LCD panel lit up, the ReadyNAS booted from the single 1TB drive with firmware 4.1.13; I then rebooted it without error, shutdown, replaced the original drives in the original slots, and it's working. Not sure what caused the first SODIMM to go bad, maybe dust? (I thoroughly cleaned it, but found big wads of dust on the first SODIMM.) In any case, I am very grateful to the ReadyNAS community for advice and assistance. Thanks mdgm, vandermerwe and StephenB!!

The problems you describe are exactly the problem I just had today when resurrecting my original ReadyNAS NV with a new PSU. I re-installed my stock/OEM 256MB stick and the unit booted fine. I will give the part you link on Amazon.com a try, I suppose, under the assumption that I too had a stick of RAM "go bad" with 4.1.13. While Murphy might be proud of the situation, I suspect there is a firmware issue related to our former RAM upgrade parts.

My former 1GB part was: Crucial/Micron CT12864X335.16FFY 1GB 128Mx64 DDR (which appears to be the exact same part as your replacement? According to Amazon.com, I ordered this exact part in Feb of 2009.)
