ReadyNas Pro 6, suck at power on with "ReadyNAS" on front screen panel.
Hi everyone, I recently purchased a used ReadyNAS Pro 6, and performed a similar action to the linked post https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/ReadyNAS-Ultra-6-doesn-t-b...

it now just sits with the front panel saying "ReadyNAS" and never boots.
Usually that is a a result of a failed power supply.
I have not tested the ATX connector yet (I will do that in the near future), but the hardware does appear to do some basic hardware POSTs, if I put a USB drive on one of the USB ports after a few seconds, and the fans ramp up speed, the USB read indicator light flashes for a few moments, I also see a few green blinks from within the back of the hardware, near the back serial port connector and reset button (I think that is were the firmware is located?).
I don't currently have the proper cable to connect to the serial port, I ordered one to try and see if I could get any POST information out of the hardware.
I tried pulling the "newer" replaced power supply out of my existing ReadyNAS Pro, it is known to be working in that box. But I get the same results on this newer used one I just started setting up.
StephenB thanks for replying so fast, If you have any other ideas or know where to point me for more troublishing, any help would be appreciated. I will post more info if I manage to get anymore information out of the hardware.
