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...

Hi folks, just wanted to give an update:
It was indeed the power supply. Replacing the power supply with one that I found on Amazon for about $50, allowed the machine to boot and allowed me to reestablish the shares. Looks like the drives are OK.
I am currently copying everything off of them, and will probably retire the unit! Thank you so much for all the help, this is a great forum for support.

I'm glad your data is OK and that I could help. ReadyNAS, including power supplies, are actually quite well made and usually last quite a long time (there are always exceptions). But we tend to continue to use them well beyond when we would retire a general purpose computer, even though a NAS really is a computer without a keyboard or display, and nothing electronic lasts forever.
