ReadyNAS NV+ won't boot
Hello community. So after having my trusty NV+ for 15 years it finally decided to stop working. I can't seem to resesitate it and was hoping that i might get some input here before I give it a well...
Hi. Thanks for the suggestion but that KB article page says that applies to the following models and my NV+ v1 is not listed. Should I try it anyway?
supported models for that USB Recovery trick are:
Desktop - Home (23)

Your NV+ is also known as the RND4000. so it is listed, and I think you should try the procedure.
- Thanks. Went ahead and tried it and it didn’t work. Holding the power button, after 4-5 seconds, the LEDs start blinking: first drive 2 LED followed by 1, 3 and 4 LEDs together. They just alternate blinking. And that is all the unit does no matter how long I depress the power button.

You could try replacing the memory - it's inexpensive and easy to do.
- Thanks again for your guidance.
Do you by chance know how to resist or replace them? Can the SODIMMs be ordered from Netgear? I did have a 1GB expansion dimm in the unit but pulled it out when I started troubleshooting.
