Usually a dead device is a bit easier to fix than something that glitches.  
Basic electronics tips are useful for all devices:

Is the power supply still working?

Often from repeated use, a wire can get cut on the brick power supply 
cable, from simply flexing it over and over.

If OK, you should open the box, you've nothing to loose now, since its 
basically toast.  Once open:

Has the power connector gotten disconnected or cut?
is there a fuse, is it blown and replaceable?

If not, then the trouble maybe in the power filter circuitry on the Nomad, 
and if its surface mount devices, its not worth fixing.
