Since your RNDP2000 is Intel based, going with the 314 for data recovery is probably better. I think StephenB was thinking that the bad unit was another 100 series NAS.
It is a shame that Netgear went away from the 90° connector they used with the Duo (V1), I think that would be less likely to put a strain on the power connector. I've seen (and repaired) units with a worn out one. What I did was remove the connector and replace it with a pigtail and in-line connector, both because finding a new one with the exact same footprint is difficult and because I felt it would be more robust. Just be sure to use a grommet to keep the metal chassis from digging into the pigtail wires.

yes, and the 90 degree connectors seem to be a better fit - I know they are nominally still 5.5mm, but all my 5.5mm are wobbly, whereas a genuine Netgear 90 degree (as on the PSU for Orbi, not high enough power, but a much more snug fit) is much better. Do you think it could be a bad connection that has killed the PSU board inside? I now have three RNDP2000s that have dead power supply boards, after in each case running at about 10.7V for a while until they died. It is beyond a joke - or am I doing something wrong? Maybe they don't cope with the higher current demands of bigger disks than were envisaged when new? But the one with 2x4TB has actually lasted longer than the others with smaller disks...
Thanks for your help,
