NV+ wont power up

I have NV+ that is about 6.5 years old, and has been running pretty much continuously since purchase.

We recently went on a 2 week vacation, so I turned everything off including the NV+. Now it wont power back up.

when I hit the power button NOTHING happens; no light, no fan, no noise, nothing.

sounds like power supply, but I don't really know. I tried it on multiple power outlets just to make sure it wasn't that.

does anyone have any troubleshooting tips for this box?

thanks

mark

  • Mark,
    There is a lot of discussion of this topic at this link

    http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=65944

    In the short term, you want to get a friends NV+, and insert disks in.
    There is another link on the Forum, from 2009, I think re wiring in a alternative power supply.

    Interesting that you have got 6.5 years of usage. You are out of 3 or 5 year warranty.
    The power supplies will go in these NV+ v1's eventually, so it is important to have files backed up, and photo
    burnt to CD's for example.
    Regards, Marto
  • thanks for the info

    fyi, this is the server I use for backup, so no lost files (unless the main server decides to die in the meantime...)

    If the NAS serial number is within the specified range, then you are entitled to a new power supply from netgear, even if you are out of warranty.

    outside that range, unfortunately, but thanks for the tip!
  • I found this power supply that looks like it should fit:

    250W Enhance ENP-7025B Power Supply 80 PLUS Bronze Certified

    anyone know if it will for sure? or any other suggestions?
    it is $45 on amazon vs $129 for a NV+ specific one

    thanks

  • I went to order the enhance supply, but someone in the feedback section said that Netgear would sell me a power supply for about $26 shipped.

    so I called netgear support and they sold me one.

    saved me a ton of aggravation modifying the wiring

    ps. this post just goes to show that netgear participation on this forum is DEAD
