From your description, I would have guessed that it is the +5VSB (5 volt standby) power that's the issue. But you say all pins have the right voltages. Still, if you have a stanbdard ATX supply available, you may want to try connecting it externally and see if that fixes the issue.
+5VSB powers the LAN circuit (for WoL) and the turn-on circuit.

There is advice on the community as to how to replace the PSU at your own risk. That sounds like the most likely component to be at fault.
Unfortunately it is not practical for us to do out of warranty hardware repairs.

Hello Sandshark
as the PSU of my readynas Pro - a seasonic SS-300SFD - was still available i orded it to follow your advice. Unfortunatly the cable to the mainboard-connector was to short; so i had to do a series of modifications to the chassis (turn the PSU 90° clockwise to reach the mainboard connector, therefore mount the chassis-fan outside, cut a little window in the chassis to reach the new position of the on-off switch and powerplug-cable.
It works and i'm happy
Thank you very much

Too late now, I guess, but if you had searched the forum you would have found that a readily available 6-inch extension for the ATX connector was all you needed to complete an internal installation.
