N300 Wifi Extender wont power on

So today I bought an N300 wifi extender, as at my current house I live in the basement and get poor signal. I got the thing home, plugged it in and the lights flashed on for a milisecond, then died.
No worries I thought, as the manual says give it a minute to power on. So I waited. And waited. And waited. 
An hour later and still no luck.

So, is there anything I can do, or should I just head back to the shop (tomorrow) and swap it for a new one?

Also, I've not read much into the N300, have there ever been any problems with the Virgin Media superhub? 

Thanks in advance.

From your description the unit seems to be defective, I would get it exchanged.

 

N300 is a generic term, what is the actual model number please?

 

If you take a look at the VM Superhub you may find that it’s a Netgear device. New models of Netgear extender should be able to connect to the Superhub without any issues.
