Ready NAS NVX Power failure
I have a 2010 bought ReadyNAS NVX which will no longer power up (not a flicker or glimmer of any life). I have tried: - changing cables - changing power socket - leaving cold for 24 hours and res...

Just to close this off, in my case it definately needed a new power supply. I replaced it myself with one from ebay, advertised for the ReadyNas. With shipping it was around $100, but didn't require any repinning or changing. I disassembled the NVX and re-assembled with the replacement power supply and the NAS picked up where it left off.

RNDU4000 (Ultra 4), RNDP4000 (Pro 4) will also work, but they're the same generation as the RNDX400E (NVX). RN314 is the new one.

Thanks so much for the prompt reply.
Do you mean the drives will work in them as they are also Intel based ? And/or the power supplies would work in the NVX?
Having had this failure, I'm interested in getting a backup NAS. So conceptually getting a different unit I can put the drives in, and then buying a newer model or power supply to revive the old model would be interesting.
I have a simple, single user set-up, the NAS is used mostly for music and a Logitech Squeezebox music server.
