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
ReadyNAS Business Pro Power Supply Replacement
Earlier this year my ReadyNAS got double booted in a very short period of time following a power outage that lasted longer than my backup. Afterwards it appeared the PS was dead. I did diligent research here and found a suggestion to buy a Kentec power supply. Although I should have read more, I assumed a PS reccomendation would be plug and play, although I saw some wiring changes would need to be made. I assumed the PS itself would bolt right in. Turns out the sizes are very different. I am writing this to get the word out in case others think they need to buy the Kentec. I hadn't taken my PS out, so I read you could only get them in Europe for a higher price than the Kentec and would still have to get it shipped. Thinking the Kentec would bolt right in and I only needed to solder a couple wires, I ordered one. Unfortunately that was in June and now it is August and I am trying to put it in and finding the two boxes are totally different. Now that I had my PS out, a Seasonic SS-300SFD, I googled it, and sure enough, they are at Newegg and who knows where else... $39 and free shipping and the Kentec was $28. Is it worth dealing with an incompatible box to save $12... Turns out that since I waited two months to install it, I can no longer return the Kentec. At this point I am debating having a new PS that is now a door stop, and spend the additional $39 to get the right PS. I could no longer respond to the topics where this PS was suggested, so I am creating a new topic to raise the question of why someone would suggest a physically incompatible drive to save $12? I guess another option is to have the PS hang out the back somewhere.... As an aside, the Seasonic is 300W and the suggested replacement Kentec is 250W. Please explain what I am not getting here and why this Kentec was suggested, and are people really using these as replacements? Thanks!
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
