My MiSTer is Dead?

Hello!
So I hadn't used my unit (an Ultimate BlisSTer PRO DUAL RAM setup) in a while but today I had some time to kill so I fired it up. Didn't get any monitor signal. Unplugged everything, plugged it back in, still nothing. I pressed Reset, LEDs went off and... stayed off (pretty sure they were on until then, but not 100%).
Power LED is off, mt32pi gets powered up, fan turns but that's about it. No smoke, no bangs. I did try setting up a new SD, same results sadly...
Any ideas? Thanks!

Send me message from our regular ways and I follow up 
I'm sure I'll fix it for you! Maybe wrong PSU was used?

No, the one I always used that came with it, but will submit a ticket

So, I can't log in to your site to amend my ticket. However, a third SD seems to have fixed it! So it was bad luck, it would seem...
Thanks for the help!!

Glad that you could fix the problem by yourself.
My situation is similar to yours, but unfortunately I did not find a solution yet:
I also own an Ultimate MiSTer PRO DUAL RAM (no BlisSTer) which I did not fire up for a longer amount of time, as well. When I switched it on again, I also did not get any monitor signal (I still can connect via WinSCP, transfer files, list the SDCard etc.). Trying different SDCards (+ MiSTer Fusion), cables, power supplies, screens did not change anything. LEDs and fan work as expected.
It would be great to receive an advice how to get my MiSTer back into a working state again.
Thank you in advance.
p.s. I also opened a ticket on the ultimatemister-website. I couldn't login and had to register newly. Please tell me if there is any additional info you need me to add.
