power line but no lights on!

I have a power line AV500 netgear which has stopped showing any lights on it. I have tried resetting it but to no avail. I contacted the Netgear website support page and hit the 'live chat' button. I asked my question and was told that I had come through to the wrong group and she would transfer me to the correct one. That person again told me that I had come through to the wrong group (even though I had supposedly been transferred to her as being the wright one) and then promptly disconnected. So I have neither a working product nor much of a positive attitude to their support group. Can anyone out there help me?.

    Hi AMB15,


    Welcome to Community!

     

    This might be a hardware issue. Can you plug the powerline adapter on a different power outlet and check if it will lit up. By the way, which of the adapter that is has no lights? And what is the model number of your powerline adapter?

     

    Regards,

        Hi treemendus,

         

        Please try to connect it on a different power outlet. Also provide the information I inquired on my initial reponse.
