ReadNAS NV+ v3 will not power
Please help. Two nights ago our ReadyNAS was powered down normally to move to a different location. Nothing out of the oridinary happened. There is no hot or burned smell from the unit, but now it is...
Well I suppose this can be marked as solved before it was ever replied. I contacted a friend/coworker who had an older gen-1 NV+ lying around not being used. I picked it up and swapped its PSU into my unit and I'm back up and running (and prepping for a giant data offload since I don't trust this PSU any more than the one that just failed, particularly since it's nearly 2 years older). At any rate, this takes care of my issue obvioulsy for the time being.

Support do have the ability for this model to sell a replacement PSU whilst stocks last if the old PSU has failed.
However the NV+ v1 hardware revision 3 is quite an old model now. You can get much better performance with any of our current models.
It has indeed failed. Running fine for the time being with the donor PSU. I intend to move to a new NAS this week. May keep this one around for redundancy as long as it keeps chugging along. We'll see. Thanks for the reply. I did check and found replacements (PSU) for around $125 - clearly not a wise investment at this point.
A replacement PSU is available for a much lower price if you don't mind swapping a couple pins on the connector. Search the forum for "legacy power supply" and see the post from me about this.
That seems a much more frugal solution. Truth be told, I'd be fine with that however I know myself well enough that it would simply be added to the pile of 'small projects' I already never get around to. :) I'll likely just retire this one if I cannot source a reasonable direct replacement and sell as-is for parts or what not. Thanks for the information though, very much.
