ReadyNAS Ultra 6 (6.10.10) doesn't boot - Stuck on "ReadyNAS" prompt screen
I think my unit has finally died, I'm just trying to confirm, or see if there's a way to work out which component is faulty. Power on, shows "ReadyNAS" on the front panel, goes no further. I can'...
I'm not saying it's impossible that the PSU has gone bad, but I installed a brand new Silverstone SX700-G power supply into the unit in April - that power supply would still be under warranty.
I think my only way to test this would be to buy another PSU - happy to give it a shot, it just seemed unlikely to get a fail on a basically already new PSU.

Only seeing ReadyNAS on the LCD screen suggests that the PSU might only be delivering 5 volts.
There are actually a lot of things that can cause this, the PSU is just the most common. "ReadyNAS" is the default display, programmed into the display itself, so it only takes 5V for it to show up. The NAS doesn't even need to get through POST, so RAM, CPU, and a lot of other components could be the culprit.
Rather than purchase yet another supply, do you have a standard ATX12V supply (even one you can temporarily remove from a computer)? You can hook it up externally and see if the NAS boots.
Thanks - there is likely a PC here with a compatible supply, we'll pull some things apart and see what tests we can run.
