Need help with my phalaenopsis orchids - Orchid Board

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I have some questions about my phalaenopsis orchids. I have three of them and recently the flowers died, then the stems died, then the leaves died and fell off. I cant tell if they are dead or not or if a new spike will shoot out of any of them. The roots are kind of a light whitish brownish gray color, I cant tell if they are dead or not. I had them in the shade and they were doing good, about to bloom and everything. Then I repotted them and moved them slightly and then it all went downhill from there. I dont know what to do and I cant tell if they are dead or not. I've had orchids that I thought were dead spring back to life on me before, but these look really bad. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi there; it would be really helpful if you could post some pictures to see in what stage are the plants. Is the crown still in good shape???
