FADEC issues - are there any?

The furore around the Air India tragedy has me tinking about the reliability of current FADEC systems and having been out of the saddle for a few years now, maybe some current pilots/engineers will have a view?

Can a modern jet lose all thrust due to an electrical problem? We know that the RAF Heli crash on The Mull raised some issues but that was quite a time ago now and aircraft such as the B787 and latest generation Airbus will be different but the debate about the AI event makes me wonder.

Electrical failures may cause all sort of issues depending on their nature but for a fault to cause total loss seems pretty worrying to say the least.
