Readynas nv+ ... reset battery ?
Hi,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me with the following query ?
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ with the same problem as detailed in this thread :
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNAS-NV-won-t-power-on/td-p/875094/page/2
I've swapped power supplies from a known working unit without any success, so looking at the second page of that thread specifically the 3rd post on the 2nd page :

Well, for anyone still reading this - I figured out my issue. I found this post in (of all places) the classified section of the forum:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=60235#p337936
I reset the battery as shown and afterwards the NV booted right up. Luckily I had only started wiping one of my 3 drives (in anticipation of selling them since I thought the NAS was dead). I managed to figure out which slots the two remaining drives went in, and the NAS is now doing a resync to get the 3rd drive back online as well.
Moral of the story: Search around before giving up entirely! Finding the above post saved me a couple hundred $.
Can someone advise me how to reset the battery if this is a possibility with this model ? as I can't access the link : viewtopic.php?f=33&t=60235#p337936
Thanks in advance
Rob

- Hello robmorris77,Welcome to the community!https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/WTB-ReadyNAS-NV-power-supply/td-p/921317#p337936 should now be visible to you.Please also see HOW TO RESET CMOS TIMER IN ReadyNAS NV, it is similar to NV+. That must be the one you need.Regards,
Thanks I'll give that a try and update the thread once I'm able to report back in a few days !
I'm probably going to buy a pair of RN314's with 4x WD RED 4TB HDD's to consolidate my handful of NV+'s so may wait to do that first so that I can ensure all my data is backed up before I play with the faulty unit further.
Thanks again
Rob
