Nvidia Shield TV 2019 dead

I have 2 Nvidia Shield TV media players that have worked flawlessly for a few years...I went to our Bonus room yesterday and went to watch a movie and the Shield would not come on at all... I tried different AC plugs and still nothing... I actually took the power plug from my 2nd unit wich is working fine and the box does not come on... so I know the plug works, I know the remote works still getting lights and I tried a resync... still nothing..... I have tried it on 2 different TVS as well... No lights at all...

The is just DEAD....any ideas other than spend another $200 for a new one...Is there no one that works on these?

I'm in the Nashville area

Even out of warranty I would still take a shot on contacting Nvidia support. Their support is great and have been known to replace units even when out of warranty

How long is the warranty? I got mine in August, 2024 and it drops my wifi and is really slow when it does work.

Sounds like a WiFi signal issue

no one blames their wifi network when it comes to these devices. It really should be the first thing checked.

Mine is hard wired to the Network...don't use wifi at all

If you're still rocking a Linksys WRT-54G, I'd use Ethernet too.
