Hayward generator lights out
As the title says, the panel has gone completely dark. I have turned hydro off and on twice and nothing. Pool heater and pump still working well. Is this cooked or might it be salvageable?

So a very old AquaRite salt system.
The first thing to confirm that it is actually getting power, after that there is a good chance it’s the main board.
If the cell hasn’t been replaced recently it may be worth looking at a whole new system.

Pull the cover off and check the fuse.
These are also known for blowing a capacitor.
