The blue power button is just lit and fan running at full speed but nothing happens. It has anything to do with whether there are disks in cabinet or not. I have two discs in it, mirrored (RAID1).
Try downloading RAIDar, and see if it can find the ReadyNAS: http://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads?cid=wmt_netgear_organic#raidar

Any chance I will be able to read the old discs in new Synology NAS?
You certainly can't migrate the disks. If you are sklled with SSH, you could possibly mount the volume temporarily It'd be safest to do that if you connect the drive as an external drive. Since you are using RAID-1, you only need to connect one disk.

Can I read and copy the old disc by connecting via SATA to a PC?
Possibly, it depends in part on the disk health and file system integrity. (the note above about connecting only one disk applies here too).
Windows can't read the disk format directly. Vendor tools (seatools for seagate, lifeguard for western digital) will see the drive, and let you test it.
I think r-linux for windows will be able to read it (http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/).

There is a procedure to move the disks across to another x86 ReadyNAS e.g. RN312.
But if there is a problem with the disks or what's on them then you may still need assistance.
