What is wrong if my TMZ 50 doesn't display any lights? Acts like it is dead

If your Genie TZ-50 does not display any lights and appears to be dead, a possible issue could be a faulty or activated emergency stop switch, as it cuts power to the system. Check if the emergency stop button is engaged and reset it if necessary. Other possible causes include a disconnected or faulty wire harness, a failed control box, or a drained battery.
