NV+ Starts booting, then abruptly shuts off
Hi folks, I have an old NV+ that I am trying to resurrect. When turning on the NV+ it seems like the power supply and the fan spin up correctly, the disks seemed to power up and sync, and the LED...
I will try that, if the replacement power supply doesn't work, thank you!
Most likely, one of the voltages of the power supply is going too low. The power supply is always the usual suspect after the drives (which you have checked), and your symptoms are consistent with that.
If you have an ATX supply you can use, an adapter cable can be constructed to connect it externally ands see if that fixes it. While the internal power connector looks like a 20-pin ATX one, it has a non-standard pin-out, so don't just connect an off-the shelf suppply not specifically for a ReadyNAS and don't just use a standard 24 to 20 pin adapter cable.
So, step one is determining if resurrecting your NAS is a high priority, or just getting the data off the drives to go on a replacement NAS.
Thank you. I'm really just making sure that the data on the drives is recovered. I don't feel confident making the ATX cable by myself, but I did find a replacement power supply for less than $50, which sounds like a good deal. I've ordered it, and it should be here this week. Hopefully that will let me boot the system and make sure all the data is copied off.
