ReadyNAS NV+ not powering on
Hi
I have the device in the subject, NV+ from 2007. Yesterday i powered it down to move it to a different location and now it will not power back on. The power supply was replaced once before...
any suggestions on a new readynas model? i'm not familiar with the newer ones and don't know if OS 6 is the latest either. i know i can look but won't have the time until later and want to get on this asap.
any suggestions on getting the NV+ to boot? battery reset possible on this model? swap the power supply to a working one?
I don't think you need to replace the battery (which isn't that easy) - it's purpose is to keep the clock running when the unit is powered off. But of course you do need a working PSU.
On new models, OS 6 is the newest ReadyNAS OS. All of the new OS 6 NAS are faster than your NV+. I'd suggest either an RN314 (entry level intel x86 model) or perhaps an RN214 (top model of the arm processor line).
The x86 ReadyNAS have some features that are missing from the arm units, and at the moment the RN314 is only about $60 more than the RN214 (Amazon US).
