Hope you and your family are O.K.
If the issue isn't related to the power timer then it's probably the PSU.
Is your serial number in this range?: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10259
If so, you should qualify for a replacement PSU. Contact support
Do you notice a burning smell? If you remove the PSU (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware/how_do_i_replace_the_stock_power_supply_on_the_readynas_nv) does it look damaged?
You cannot migrate to a NV+ v2 (RND4000-200 - charcoal chassis). You can migrate to a NV+ (v1 - silver chassis). See http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_migrate_disks_over_from_an_existing_readynas_to_another
A good description of a range of ways on how to tell the difference between a NV+ (v1) and a NV+ v2 can be found here: How to tell whether I have a Duo v1 or Duo v2 or NV+ v1 or NV+ v2
Another alternative (really a last resort) is to recover data using a Linux machine: Mounting Sparc-based ReadyNAS Drives in x86-based Linux
