When several devices disappear together, the failure is usually upstream of the device itself. That is good news because it narrows the field, but only if you think in terms of shared network paths instead of individual boxes.
The backbone power feed matters. The terminators matter. Connector strain, moisture, and partial seating matter. A healthy-looking display can still be sitting on a weak network path that collapses under vibration or low voltage.
Start with a map. Which devices fail together, which stay online, and what do they share. Once the shared path is clear, the number of honest suspects drops fast.
Good troubleshooting here is less about cleverness and more about refusing to guess. The system architecture usually tells you where to look.
