Nighthawk c7800 X4S - no lights, seems bricked.
My internet went down. Went to router and it had a slow faint red light blinking, which faded to nothing.
I tried a known working power supply.
When I plug the power supply in with the unit powered on, the bottom 6 lights flash white for an instant as the cord is connected, but nothing happens, the unit remains black.
I've held the reset button for 30 seconds with the on/off in on, and 30 seconds in off and 30 seconds in on, multiple times, it still doesn't come alive.
I saw that there might be a TFTP repair for other similar units, but as I started to follow the instructions i went to the download center and there is no software for my unit.
What do I do now? I guess this one that I bought is an older one from Netgears registry. Any help appreciated.

If you tried a different power adapter with same volts and amps and nothing seem to bring it back, I would presume the unit needs to be replaced. Might contact NG support to see what options you have:
