Sudden death, and no LED's tells me it's probably the power supply. There is a rare possibility the power supply has "locked up" meaning the oscillator that controls the internal functions has stopped. Sometimes this can be restarted by disconnecting the AC line for a period of time so all internal voltages dissipate. If you try this, leave it disconnected for an hour or so, and then reconnect. See if that brings it back up. But if it does, I would expect it to happen again. Also check that 115/230 switch on the power supply, next to the power cord. Make sure it's set correctly.
