My hackrf went from working perfectly one day then all of a sudden it wont power on at all as in usb plugged in and no lights illuminate on the board. Its a good usb and I have three total hackrfs and its the only one with this issue.... Any ideas about what could cause this and what might be the remedy?

What board is this?

If it's a HackRF One, then no lights, with a cable etc that works with other units, definitely indicates a hardware failure - I would start from checking the USB connector for problems, and then investigate downstream from there to the voltage regulator U21.

If it's a HackRF Pro (Praline), then no lights is normal if booted in DFU mode, or with no valid firmware loaded.
