What are the symptoms of a dying Shimano dynohub? Was it a catastrophic failure that stops you somewhere or did the electrics die while you could continue rolling?

I bought a used wheel with a 3N71, I would assume that is similar to your hub.

Slightly off topic, but when this thread started SP was not making dynohubs. I have only heard of two SP that failed, those two are described in the links below:
