ReadyNAS 626X spare power supply
This is a request for information: where I might buy a spare replacement power supply for my 626X. My ReadyNAS just went out of warranty and I am late getting this done. I want to buy a new power supply for the NAS for that inevitable day when the PS dies. Currently its working fine, but I want to avoid waking up to a dead NAS and having to scramble to replace a dead power supply. I don't know what power supply will work. From the documentation a 200W power supply is installed, and I suppose I'll have to open the box to see exactly what model is installed. TIA for any tips! David

ReadyNas NV+ Post New Power Supply Boot Issue
Recently my ReadNAS NV+ stopped working after almost 8 years of running. It would not power on. After reading all of these forums, I concluded that my power supply most be dead. I ordered a new one on Amazon that match the same Voltage, Freq, etc. of the current PS. Install went smooth no issues. I decided to boot it up with no HDDs to verify it worked. It turned on, however, the display screen was lit and display "blocks". The blue glow around the power button did not turn on. I tried turing off the system and it would not. I tried with a quick power button press and also held it for a number of seconds 10+, 20+. No luck. I read that I should be able to see the NAS on the frontpage and I could not. I decided to try it with the HDDs installed. Same issues. The fan is working everything seems to be ok. Thoughts? Thanks!

ReadyNAS Duo failure
I am unable to access my READYNAS. I am guessing it is some sort of internal power failure. The external 12v supply seems to be OK when tested with a meter but the blue power light on the NAS is intermitantly and fairly randomly going on and off. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks for any answers

No detection of "bad" power supply on ReadyNAS 4200V2 with OS6.7.5
Having recently seen a couple of posts from users with 3200's and 4200's with power supply issues, I ran an experiment and unplugged one of the supplies on my 4200V2 running OS6.7.5. While is beeped loudly, there was no message in the log that a power supply had failed. I don't have email alerts turned on, but my suspicion is that it would not have sent one, either. Pulling the supply completely silenced it, but there was still no entry in the log. It made no difference if this was done with power on or it was booted that way. I know OS6 is not officially supported, but it sure would be nice if it did properly detect this, as many with this type of unit administer them remotely. Do the newer rack-mount units with redundant supplies provide proper notification? I only ran this unit briefly with OS 4.2.x, but I am sure that it logged a power supply failure if one was not plugged in to a power source. I don't know if it complained if a supply was pulled completely (I suspect not, as that would be an intentional act).

Power supply switch set to On when RN526X off for extended period?
Is it safe to leave the power supply switch set to the On position on the ReadyNAS 526X when the system is powered off? After not using my 526X for over a month (it was powered off, but the power supply switch was on), I noticed that the case exterior was warm to the touch. According to the Product Data Sheet, the 200W power supply when the system is powered off consumes only 417mW of power. Should I be concerned about internal heat generated from the power supply possibly shortening the life of the hard drives or other internal components under these circumstances?

Power supply failure
Hello, I have a RNDP600E and it doesn't start. There seems to be power. No leds on and nothing happens. The power supply is a Seasonic SS-300 sfd. It can be replaced because I cannot buy it anymore. I would like to replace the power supply but I don't know what kind of power supply can be used to replaced it. Maybe before changing it, fuses can be changed ? Does someone know what king of tests I can do to test the power supply ? Does someone know where to buy the same power supply ? Does someone know if I can get my data by using a new NAS and putting the 6 HDD I have in the new NAS ? Thanks for your help. CFOE

ReadyNAS NV - New power supply Power LED 3 fast flash
I've had the power supply on my readynas NV die twice now, but that's to be expected I think when it's around 12 years old. This last round I got the new PWS and installed it. Now when the device tries to boot I get all 4 disk drive LEDs lit, and then the power button does this 3 quick flash then pause, 3 quick flash, pause, etc. Just loops. Not able to find it in Raidar. It's clearly having an issue booting but I'm not sure how to recover. The LED PDF suggested to re-seat the ram. Going to do that next, then it suggested doing a reset of nand. I'm worrid that my old raid is going to disappear and I'll still lose all my data. Any thoughts? Will an Nand recovery lose my raid config? Am I out of luck? Is the 3 flash something else? Thanks!

ReadyNAS NVX Power failure/apparent death
I have a 2010 bought ReadyNAS NVX which will no longer power up (not a flicker or glimmer of any life). I have tried: - changing cables - changing power socket - leaving cold for 24 hours and restarting - tweaking the battery to reset it After the above, as far as I can see the general experience is to replace the power supply. However since a new power supply on Amazon or eBay is about 70 British pounds I would like to check out any other options or validating this is the issue. Also I found instructions on the site for changing power supply on other models but not the NVX. I do have at the moment a spare ATX 600W power supply - if I could connect this up it would let me at least prove its the power supply. Wondering if this is supported or if it is likely to make things worse! http://www.readynas.com/download/archive/pdf/ReadyNAS_PSU_pinout.pdf Alternatively, I do occasionally see second hand units - more money than a power supply but a full unit in case its actually the motherboard dead on mine. I'm assuming any NVX case would do (eg that I could put my disks into a Pioneer edition case) but are they also cross compatible with the NV/NV+ range? Finally, most of the data was backed up fortunately however my husband had just loaded on a bunch of files in the afternoon before the next backup ran. Have readers had much success reading xraid-2 disks with native Linux systems or Linux Reader? TIA
