3VDUAL power is out of normal range [Expected 3.30 current 3.10]
This is a posting for information only, with information I could not find in other postings. I replaced the PSU in my ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer when the unit started failing to restart after being shut down - but would eventually come on, apparently after warming up. The replacement unit was a Seasonic SS-300SFD as mentioned in other posts, which I sourced from Scan Computers in the UK. The replacement unit had slightly different connectors. Yes, the main 24-pin ATX connector cable was too short, as mentioned in other posts, so I needed an extension cable (30 cm for me). There were two sets of power connectors with two Molex 4-pin plugs each, and a further single power connector with two 5-connector plugs. There are 3 female Molex connectors in the ReadyNAS requiring power (with 2 drives connected to each). When I used two 4-pin plugs from one power line to power the disk drives in the ReadyNAS, I got floods of the message about power being out of range - i.e. one power line was being used for 4 drives (since internally in the ReadyNAS each connector goes to 2 drives). When I rewired the 5-connector line to a 4-connector plug (dropping the orange 3.3V wire), and used that as the third 4-pin plug, it worked fine. (There is also a 4-pin square 12V ATX power connector - no need to adjust that.) I hope this information might help others needing to do something similar to their units.
NV+ RND4000 Power Supply Failure: What are my options?
A few months ago the power supply died on my NV+ v1 (RND4250-100NAS). I tried to contact support as suggested in some other forum posts, but couldn't get anywhere with the online form – it only tells me my product is EOL and provides no options to actually contact anyone or open a case. I've read other forum posts from just a few months ago suggesting it might be possible to get a replacement PSU: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNAS-NV-Fails-to-Power-Up-after-Power-Failure/m-p/1100816 https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/ReadyNAS-NV-won-t-turn-on-power-supply-issue-27356934/m-p/1124966#U1124966 I've also seen some as far back as a couple years ago saying there are no more PSUs available. It's also not clear whether or not my unit falls under the Service Action, and whether or not that actually matters. So i'm not sure what my options are. I've done all the basic troubleshooting steps like trying different power outlets, and swapping power cords. I remember smelling a burnt electrical smell the time i tried to power it on but it wouldn't. Zero activity since then – no lights, sounds, or anything. It's almost certainly a failed PSU.

ReadyNAS NV+ won't turn on - power supply issue? #27356934
I shutdown my NV+ on Friday night, expecting a large storm while I was out. Tried to power on Saturday morning ubt NV+ not responding - no lights on front panel. I tried tapping the power button, with no effect. I removed the power cable then re-connectted it; no effect. I've seen on this forum multiple reports of similar issue, which suggests the PSU needs to be replaced. (I also saw warnings not to hit the reset button, so I've avoided that.) https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNAS-NV-Fails-to-Power-Up-after-Power-Failure/m-p/1096946#U1096946 https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/ReadyNAS-NV-power-suppy/m-p/1086573#M14126Solved
