Unless you bought a supply specifically stated as being for a ReadyNAS, then it does not have the proper voltage pin-out on the connector, though that can be fixed. See the attachment to the second message in this thread for the details: Inexpensive-power-supply-replacement-for-legacy-4-bay-Readynases. The link in the first message in that thread is now broken.
Hopefully, you have damaged neither the NAS nor the supply.

Thanks for the reply. I verified the pin outputs in the diagram you provided and mine matched 1 for 1. Below is the link of the Amazon purchased PSU. It does state it was for a ReadyNAS. I used this PSU as it was recommended by another user on the these forums and they had no problems.

If it's not the PSU, then it's likely to be a system board failure. Sandshark might have a troubleshooting suggestion to pin that down. But it might just be time to get a new NAS.
If you do get a new NAS, you won't be able to directly migrate your disks. Do you need to offload data from the RAID array?
- dkgoreyFeb 09, 2018AspirantYes I need to get data off! A friend has a NV+ can I just swap my drives in an get the data? Also, I took apart the old PSU, it was definitely burnt inside. Wonder if that caused other issues.
