ReadyNas Pro : No more sign of life -> dark and silent

Hello dear forum,

I 'm devastated .

My ReadyNAS Pro (bought in 2009) did not want to shut down a few days ago. Each shutdown attempt was followed by an automatically restart. After 3 or 4 attempts I simply pulled the power-plug. It has now shown, probably a terrible mistake ...

After plugging in again the device remains fully and completely "dead". The only sign of life : A small LED nearby the LAN jack on the rear panel flickers a bit - otherwise no peep, no sound, no fan, no display, nothing!

Also, pressing the reset button changes nothing.

I 'm at a loss and VERY grateful for any help.

THANK YOU!

Best wishes,
Guido

PS: Is there a safety-fuse inside? Or the power pack is damaged?

    Sounds like the PSU has probably failed. There are some suggestions on replacement PSUs and an extension cable that amy be required on the forums.
