ReadyNAS NV+ working fine but front panel LED's don't work at all

Just got a ReadyNAS NV+ with 8tb storage for very cheap, it all works in terms of the discs/RAID etc but the front panel lights dont work other than the blue one behind the power button.

The backup button appears to work as I get a notification on the web dashboard when it's pressed and the LCD panel works fine.

 

it's running RAIDiator 4.1.15 [1.00a043] 

 

Any ideas if they've just blown (and can they be replaced) or is it a known problem?

    The lights should work, it is not a known issue with 4.1.15.  AFAIK they are not user-replacable.

     

    Your NAS is quite old (discontinued in 2011).  It's limited to 2 TB disks, and it's transfer speeds are much slower than current units (it is limited by the sparc CPU).  Mine is also still in service, I use it as a backup NAS.
