My Mk2 died a few months back. Completely stock. After applying power, the blue light would come on, and nothing would happen no matter what I press. I assumed it was a dead HD. Was that assumption correct?



No, it wasn't. The display should have come on, and eventually a "contract support" message should have appeared on it.

If the display never came on, then it could be one of several possible things, like a blown display fuse, corrupted flash memory (just reflash the kernel to fix it), or something else.
