No headache at all Melinda. That's what we are here for. Sounds like your power inserter simply went bad. I'm glad it was such an easy fix for you.

The first step was finding the Power Insertor for the 775 error ... sometimes thats not easy.
When you said the PI didn't have its light on, that was the 1st clue (unless the light blew out which would be really a low possibility.)
Check the outlet to make sure power is not turned off at a switch.

The newer dishes (SWM) ... not new now mind you ...require power from the PI that you replaced as it was bad to run the whole set up.
Back in the old days, that power came directly from each recvr.

sounds like the power supply might be bad,, the inserted that feeds power to the dish
 

I believe the light also goes out if there is a short...
 
They are unregulated switching power supplies similar to any other wall wart. Those can definitely go bad, though with the brick that huge for such a small output power they should at least be pretty immune to overheating related damage even if you don't keep them well ventilated. They probably figured most would end up jammed behind home entertainment centers, and some would end up in attics enduring temps of up to 150 degrees.
