ReadynNAS pinout for manually powering up?
Readynas 6 with a Flame6 v1.2 board.
Power supply works fine, jumped it and fan powers up. Can't figure the pins on the board to try to force it to start up. Button doesn't work on the front. Pulled it apart and no traces on the boards follow the power button.
Want to try to give it a last shot at manually booting before tossing it.
Thanks.

Not a NAS model I've owned. If you replaced the PSU (or jury-rigged one), then did you remember to modify the PSU pinout? You can of course do this in an extension cable. http://www.readynas.com/download/archive/pdf/ReadyNAS_PSU_pinout.pdf
Bypassing the switch and power outlet on the NAS and have the PS plugged directly into the UPS. Trying to eliminate sources of failure. I think I have an ATX power supply laying around at the office. Will try to grab it and rule out a faulty PS, but this one has less than a few hours on it and can jump pins 15 and 16 and the fans spin. Which "usually" means it's good.
If you mean you jumpered the power on pin and the supply ran fine without a load, that's only marginally better than no test at all. If you jumpered it with the NAS still connected, that's a better test, and the best way to circumvent the button.
If the +5VSB (+5V Standby) voltage is weak, it could cause your symptom, as that's what the power-on button uses. But the NIC also runs on +5VSB. So if that works and the button does not, then it's probably somethig else in the power-on circuit.
PSU pin-out modification is not required for a Pro or Ultra 6.
