ReadyNAS NV+ not powering on
Hi
I have the device in the subject, NV+ from 2007. Yesterday i powered it down to move it to a different location and now it will not power back on. The power supply was replaced once before...
If you have another power supply, then swapping it would be one thing to try. But without more information, it's hard to suggest ou go out and buy a new supply and just hope. Using an ATA connector extender with a couple of wires swapped will allow you to connect a standard ATA supply externally and see if that will fix it. The pin-out for the connector can be found by searching the forum.
i swapped the supply and its now booting. i'll get my data off when i get a chance later to pick up the backup drive. but i need to use it until i get a new one. since the old one still works, i'm going to put it at a relative's house and rsync a backup to it. thanks for the help and suggestions. this is the second PSU, i'd added ram at one point, and changed the fan. and once i had a catastophic drive failure when it was only a two disk xraid, but with some clever setting up and i was able to rebuild the array. the biggest problem is that the issues occur so far between, that its ahrd to remember what I did the last time. i need less hands on management...
thanks again.
