Hi again, just to add - this morning I powered it on again and again stuck on READYNAS logo but I can hear the drives starting up etc.
Does RAIDar give you any useful status?
If you power down the NAS and remove the drives, do you see a "no disks" status on the LCD?

ReadyNAS is the default built into the display (well, likely in some sort of flash memory), and all it takes is 5V (and not even well regulated 5V) to display that. The most likely candidate for your issue is the power supply, especially since you had the shut-down issue as well as a start-up one. Specifically, it's probably the +5VSB (+5 volt standby), which is always on (even when the NAS is "off", as are the fans). But it, alone, cannot be fixed. If you have a "spare" ATX12V supply, you can hook it up externally just to see if that's the cause before investing in a replacement supply. Replacement supplies are available on eBay.
FYI, it's not likely something you did, the power cycle just enunciated a problem that had been getting worse. The NAS is well-built, but the power supply (same as used in some small form factor PC's) just won't last forever is is the usual first casualty.
- Hi Sandshark,
As you can see I replied to StephenB’s post as his suggestion was what I was experiencing except for it saying no disks.
