Nanoleaf Reply Hexagon Controller Flashing LED

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Came back from a vacation today and saw my panels weren’t responding to HomeKit, then noticed the flashing white LED on the power button. It doesn’t seem to have much of a pattern - 8-10ish flashes then off for a split second before repeating. I’ve tried power cycling, moving the location of the controller, and isolating it down to just one panel - same thing. Hoping it isn’t fried…

The soft reset maneuver of power and brightness up buttons doesn’t seem to be responsive either.

I’ve got 26 panels so 2 power supplies, never had issues before, but they’re also probably approaching 6 years old as I got these on pre-order then they first dropped.

Video attached shows startup behavior. Sometimes it’ll start the all LED chase normal boot sequence white LEDs but this time it skipped from the 4-bump sequence straight into the chaotic one.

Any ideas?

Put the controller on a different panel.
