I take that as a no.. seems like some sort of hardware defect.. the screen stays black as I plug it in and the red indicator light just flashes red.. darn!
well, i took the battery out and went to AppLoader.. it told me that the device was locked (screen never turned on) and I had 10 more tries.. so I went and hit a bunch of keys so it would wipe itself.. now the red light is blinking at a very fast rate, and the screen still wont turn on.
