"My parents have an Amazon Alexa device. I noticed it again recently, sitting on a cabinet in their lounge, apparently no longer powered on."

My sister got one for our mom and every time I'd go over, I'd partially unplug the ethernet cable or paint the terminals so they wouldn't make contact. My mom got sick of the thing never working for very long and just gave up on it. She gave it to me to take apart and steal parts from. I well and thoroughly borked now.
