Comments
If they have attached cables, cable damage is also a possibility, and if they have IEC sockets the fuse is often in a drawer next to the plug space.

I'm not gonna replace if I can help it, i'd rather fix things
The dimmer pack is more hopeful if it just did nothing, that sounds more like a broken switch or a connection.

If the dimmer pack is ol skool Triac then that's probably fixable

It is very much a throwaway design model - they're rarely economical to repair if something serious goes wrong, and in many cases seem to be almost deliberately "designed not to be repaired" rather than "not designed to be repaired", if you see what I mean, and as Danny1969 said - although it may not be intentional.
Not by any means unique to modern Chinese manufacture, and it's just something we have to get used to. Especially those of us who earn our money fixing things...

Two comments I'd like to make.
The digital EQ by behringer (Ultracurve) is far better sounding than the slider version, but less instinctive to use for a drama group unless someone rings it out and locks the best settings in.
This is advertised online used, probably not much more than a repair fee if a lot of diagnostic time and shipping charges are involved.https://shop.musical-money.co.uk/all-studio/behringer-fbq6200-ultragraph-pro-eq.html
It is utterly disheartening, small community drama groups don't have a lot of cash - equipment is always bought on a budget. I can accept behringer equipment not being the best, some of it is decent but you've got to allow for hums, buzzes, not the best quality but usable. It pisses me off no end that companies think using something 3 times before it dies beyond repair is acceptable.
