I have 3 x Hydra 26HD and one just quit! No indicator lights of any colour at the back at all. I still went through the reset function, plugged it in, out, etc. and its not the power, as I switched the cord. Light is probably dead? Any opinions?
Thanks.
The lights are seven years old

If it’s anything like the radions. Mine did this a few times. RAPID(several times per second) power cycling on the dc side of the transformer kicked them back on 4 times so far in a year.

Assuming it didn't get water damaged, and you've already tried swapping power supplies, the issue is likely with the main board. The short on the main power circuit is a fairly common problem with this light.

Here's one of my repair videos which could be relevant:
