Readynas 316 PSU failing?
My poor 316, which has been rock solid for years, stuttered on power up yesterday. Basically started to power up after pressing power button then shutdown after about 2-3 seconds, did this 3 times. I...
The PSU is definitely a possibility. Another thing that can cause that behavior is a bad fan. If the NAS does not detect the fan spinning, it will shut down. I don't remember if it's far enough in the start-up process to put an entry in the log, but I think it's not. Most other failures I'm familiar with cause it to fail to boot but don't shut it down.

Fan definitely started spinning up so if it is a fan issue it’s not a complete failure. I’ve had no fan speed warnings.
