Yeah..I've tried unplugging and plugging it back in after about 10 minutes of no power..but it does the same thing. What I notice is that when I press the power button, the screen turns on and is backlit as normal..like the screen is working ok..but then when the software boots (or loads or whatever), that's when it goes black and you can JUST barely make out the big RIO on the screen as it tries to display.

Demon..what problems were you having? When you say your display wasn't working properly, what do you mean?
