Please help. Two nights ago our ReadyNAS was powered down normally to move to a different location. Nothing out of the oridinary happened. There is no hot or burned smell from the unit, but now it is compeltely unresponsive when attempting to power on. A second power cable was tried in a known-good second outlet as well, still no fan spin-up, no lights, nothing. I suppose it could be time to upgrade the unit which I'd actually been research (of course), but there is a significant amount of new data needed since the last full back up. ser#23J3027A00890
Well I suppose this can be marked as solved before it was ever replied. I contacted a friend/coworker who had an older gen-1 NV+ lying around not being used. I picked it up and swapped its PSU into my unit and I'm back up and running (and prepping for a giant data offload since I don't trust this PSU any more than the one that just failed, particularly since it's nearly 2 years older). At any rate, this takes care of my issue obvioulsy for the time being.

It has indeed failed. Running fine for the time being with the donor PSU. I intend to move to a new NAS this week. May keep this one around for redundancy as long as it keeps chugging along. We'll see. Thanks for the reply. I did check and found replacements (PSU) for around $125 - clearly not a wise investment at this point.
A replacement PSU is available for a much lower price if you don't mind swapping a couple pins on the connector. Search the forum for "legacy power supply" and see the post from me about this.
That seems a much more frugal solution. Truth be told, I'd be fine with that however I know myself well enough that it would simply be added to the pile of 'small projects' I already never get around to. 🙂 I'll likely just retire this one if I cannot source a reasonable direct replacement and sell as-is for parts or what not. Thanks for the information though, very much.
As mdgm mentioned, support can offer you a PSU as a replacement part if you want to still want to give it a try. I suggest that you give them call to know the pricing.
