Nighhthawk CAX80 displays a red light for power and ticking sound

My 2.5 year old CAX80 stopped working suddenly last evening. It was working fine and all of a sudden went to just one Red light on the top and all other lights are off. I also hear a ticking sound. I have tried power cycling, trying after a few hours etc., But seems like its dead. What are my options to revive it?

    Try a 30-30-30 reset process on it. 

    Might see if a different power supply changes anything. If not, probably needs replacing.
