Ready NAS Ultra 2 does not turn on
I haven't had a NAS in use for about a year. Recently I decided to start it up again. I installed new disks in it and turned it on. Everything worked fine for about an hour. After that, the NAS just ...
Okay. Perhaps someone has experienced a similar problem and knows where to look for the answer
You can try a different power brick, but iot really doesn't sound like that's it. I have a Pro2 (same hardware except the processor) with an internal 12V regulator that can only handle spinning up one drive. I didn't find anything promising to try to fix it.
The repairman used his own, lab-grade power supply with 6 amps. It's not the power supply. There is clearly a short on the board. But without a schematic of the motherboard it is not clear where to look for it
I had similar symptoms with my Ultra 2 a while back, although I never had anyone check voltages or such.
I found it turned off one morning and every time I turned it back on, it would run for about 10-20 seconds and shut back down.
When I opened up the case I found that two of the plastic pins holding the heatsink down on the cpu had snapped so the heatsink was not contacting the cpu. I replaced all four of the plastic hold downs with some 6/32 nylon screws/nuts and that fixed things.
Not sure if this applies to your situation, but it may be worth checking. Overheated cpus can do all kinds of bad things.
