When I rewired 12 years ago based on the little info I could find I put in four spurs just for the hifi. I put these at the front of the consumer unit, which is supposed to be the best place as it's closest to where the leccy comes in from the street. Not sure this really makes a difference but it's...

Dunno. Why's it taking out the QNAP PS but none others (touch wood!)? The Squeezebox for instance.

Bum. Just lost another power supply, an expensive Maplins one. Wish I could find the problem as this is going to get expensive...

Well, I didn't understand most of that but I can confirm I use Windows to talk to the QNAP

Hi Rod, good to see you here. Would the board in the photo be the proto for my KRs?

No, no Linux box. Maybe one day when I have more time and money :lol:. The QNAP has a number of features such as web server, and if I really knew what I was doing I might set something up. But I don't so I keep all the ports closed behind the firewall. Ignorance isn't cool, but better safe than sorr...

So there's no substitute for the discipline of regular manual backups?

Indeed Chris. It gets backed up "occassionally" but really, it needs a pukka solution. Is RAID the way to go if I were to do it properly?

QNAP resurrected!!!! Chris and Dave were spot on the money :D. I swapped to the Maplins PS and the QNAP was fine. So whilst the knackered one read 12V with my DMM it obviously can't provide enough current. Just need to find a replacement from somewhere now. Result! Thanks for everyone's help - with ...

I remember it well. But then I was driving .

I also remember how pale Mr I looked the next day.

This seems to back up the dead PSU theory http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=20055 That's an interesting link Chris, I'll have a look further. Looks like QNAP technical help might be worth trying too, though when I was struggling to upgrade to SqueezeCenter they were at the same time very helpfu...

If its a Linux if the worst happens I should be able to read the disk for you. I was going to post on this but I think he said he has a backup........fwiw I'll bet its got 1 x ext3 and 1 x ntfs partition...even if the drive board is shot there are loads of peeps out there who will screw the drive o...

I did look but couldn't see anything obvious. Have to admit I was hoping it was a nice, easy to replace fuse that had blown. I think I'm going to have to strip it down to find out so might find out a bit more then.

Thanks, that could be a very useful offer.
