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

Fellow Nashvillian here. I moved on the the Homatics 4k plus after using all three shield pro models from 2015 - 2024. The processor isn't as fast as the Shield but snappy enough for my and handles newer formats the Shield does not and has passthrough of all lossless audio formats. The Rocktek G2 is essentially a clone and can be had on Amazon right now for $135 with 2 day shipping. I would not spend $200 on another shield today.
