So I think I can kiss the warranty goodbye I´m afraid.
I think so.

The only user-changeable parts are the Cpu and the Ram right?
Whilst those can be replaced NetGear doesn't support doing either of those.

Does anyone have any luck replacing the Cpu in a similar situation?
Hook up a cable to the VGA header, and connect a USB keyboard to the ReadyNAS Pro. If you turn on the ReadyNAS Pro does anything show up on your display connected via VGA?

If I go nuts and buy a new Readynas Pro, will I be able to put the harddrives from this one into the new and recover my data?
Yes. Provided the disks are fine that should work.
If you buy a new one go for the Ultra 6 Plus (RNDP600U-200) or the Pro 6 (RNDP6000-200). First put a spare disk (must not be from your array) in the NAS, then update to the firmware you were running before (or newer). Verify the update was successful, then power down, remove the spare disk and follow the migration procedure: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_migrate_disks_over_from_an_existing_readynas_to_another
