WTB - ReadyNAS NV power supply
My ReadyNAS NV power supply just died. No online store seems to have them in stock, ebay has nothing. The part number is RND4PSU1-10000S. Does anybody have one they can sell me? I am fine buying th...
Hi
I own a ReadyNAS nv+ and its PSU failed about a 10 days ago. There was an associated burning smell that I think is associated with a transformer. The unit has been in service since 2007 with no problems. I went to Amazon and found a PSU compatible. I ordered it expecting a unit that had only the CPU board cable, but this one came with disk power and stuff. I opened the PSU and cut carefully out the extra cables. I also followed the instructions and opened a hole in the back of the PSU case (yes the label had to go) and reversed the fan. Put it all back together and expected it all to work. I have the same problem as you.
The display LCD does not function correctly. It seems to display some characters properly, but then it seems to also insert garbage. Have not looked at it close enough to figure it out. Thought it might be corrupted memory, but the system runs ok. All files are good. Able to access it via network and all looks good there. Did have disk 2 complaining about higher errors, but think it was because PSU was failing. Since you have a similar problem, maybe same problem I have. PSU came from UK, Overtek.
Any help or suggestions from moderator or reader could be helpful. I am an engineer and I have dealt with PSU design in the past.
