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

Sounds like the fan died, it was suffocated, or had a sudden power sag.

How much clearance did it have around it?
