Hi StephenB, thanks for your response!
The NAS failed on power supply, I have opened it up and there are black marks around chips on the power supply board so think it is terminal.
Whilst i am not bad with a soldering iron these components are beyond my equipment and skills unfortunatley!
Downloaded diskinternals but could not find my data :(

Any further suggestions greatly appreciated!
