ReadyNAS RND4000 v3 NV+ dead psu
What are my options for replacing the PSU in Australia? I shut the unit down for a week while I was away, when I returned it refused to power up. Tried a different outlet, tried a different power...
There is a good chance your ReadyNAS NV+ is a 3rd hardware revision of the 1st generation, so actually ReadyNAS NV+ v1. Look here: http://web.archive.org/web/20160819155017/http://www.rnasguide.com:80/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
If it transpires you have a NV+ V1 then you may want to look here http://www.evercase.co.uk/CompatibilityListReadynas.htm
It is a UK company but they ship worldwide, it will cost you £79 plus any import duty at your end.

Somewhere close to 100%, since as far as I know there weren't any hardware revisions on the v2.
But definitely read the guide, and confirm the model.
Confirmed NV+ v1 from the guide provided earlier. Where do I stand from here then? Can only buy from that UK compatible place?
My other avenue is a buddy who has the exact same model (we bought from same place, same time). He has offered to lend his chassis for me to get the data off (I have backups but are probably a couple months old - yeah I know...)
Assuming I threw the drives into his unit, would different firmware revisions cause problems?

His NAS would try to install the firmware in its flash onto your drives. In most cases that creates no problems, but if his firmware is a lot older than yours it might.

There are some cheaper sources, but if you use them you will need to modify the connector pinout. There are quite a few threads here on that topic, you should be able to find them if you search.
