Nighthawk C7000 Dead?

Have had this Nighthawk C7000 not quite 2 years (12/26/2015 date of purchase). This morning I woke up to see it alternately flashing the 3 LED's in green below a solid green power LED, and then the "display" would change to solid amber LED's.

 

Can't connect to it via either WiFi or Ethernet. Are we dead & time for a new one?

    Turns out it was the power supply. Had enough life in it to get the C7000 turned on, but not enough for it to operate properly. Replaced supply with new 60w unit from Amazon and all is well again.

    Have you tried to hold the reset button for 10+ seconds?
