- Nov 24, 2021
Sandshark, i read about power supply messages about other models (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Error-V-12-power-is-out-of-normal-range/m-p/811901) and I thought this can be also for ready nas.The NAS has been running continuously and well since yesterday, it really seems that the electrolytic capacitors were to blame. Thanks very much for the tips.

Does the NAS immediately reboot over and over? Or does it remain running for a while, and then sometimes reboot?
What firmware is it running?

How have you determined the problem is not the power supply?

I did not received any error message about power supply malfunction (in a previous post I read that power failure are sent by email or recorded in system log). Meanwhile I decided to check power supply and I found four electrolitical condenser with a mismatching capacity (lower than prevised) - changing these condensers all seems work fine.

I don't know where you read that you'd receive an email about a power supply issue, but that is rarely the case. It does sound like a power supply issue to me, and hopefully changing those capacitors will do the trick. If it doesn't, then it can be replaced with an SFX format supply, though you'll likely need a 24-pin extension and a 4-pin Molex splitter or SATA to Molex adapter (or two). I recommend at least a 350W supply to insure there is sufficient 12V, even though the original is a 300W.
