    Honestly I think the power brick is a long shot.  More likely it is something in the chassis (for instance the NIC).  If so, it is not repairable.

     

    If you can connect one of the drives to a Windows PC (either USB adapter or SATA), then you should be able to read the data with r-linux for windows ( http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/)

     

    If you purchase a replacement X86 ReadyNAS (RN300 or better), you can temporarily mount the volume in the new NAS and extract data.  https://kb.netgear.com/29957/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-2-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6-x86

     

    You could look for a used OS 4.2 ReadyNAS, though the platform is aging (and you could be inheriting someone else's hardware issues).
