Hi Stephenb
You were spot on on amp mine is 7.5a as well.since mine was a neatgear it had it clearly labelled. While searching on YouTube for nas not powering on i found videos like this where they are replacing power supply within unit https://youtu.be/V2jqdueAn4E?si=yk7kB1k_LVXaaXIL
If the issue was with powerbrick will the green light still be on like in my picture attached? Or it could be faulty with light on?

It still is possible that the power brick isn't delivering enough power to spin up the disks.
But there are other failure modes (disk failure or chassis hardware). Which is why I said it was a "risk buy".
You could see if the system boots up with the disks removed - label the disk by slot number as you take them out.
If you have a spare disk, you could also try a factory install with only that disk inserted That would be a better test, since it that works it rules out the chassis hardware. If it does work, then make sure you see if the NAS can boot with that disk in any slot.
