AC3000 maybe bricked or fried

My EX8000 Tri extender had a power surge and has not been the same since. It powers on, the green light on the back comes on, all the white lights on the front blinking steadily. I cannot reset the device to factory to start over as nothing happens when I push the reset. I have tried I think everything I am capable of doing by the troubleshooting guide.

I tried the Nighthawk app'

I tried the WPS thing near the router.

I hooked to a laptop directly and other computers, phone and browsers 

used default login in the browser and the trouble guide keeps coming up

powered it off for a few hours and tried again

 

I am thinking the power spike may have zapped something but that's why I am here.

 

thank you in advance if there is help available
