I had a similar thing happen to my palm, turns out that I was over watering the plant, which turned it brown and caused parts to dye back. I took the plant out its pot and replaced the soil with a good mixture of soil and grit, stop watering so much and has now come back to life. However was a very slow process, took about a year to take effect. Trick to getting a good palm is good drainage, don't let the roots sit in water, they will rot. Good Luck.
Reply:check the roots, if they are rotting then you need to replant and water less
Reply:All plants need sunlight. It's the whole part of photosynthesis.
