[olpc-help] screen does not come on

Got a DOA machine here, too.

I followed all power variations suggested and I'm getting the same results as the folks above.  

Question: is this problem one of manufacturing or hardware?  Or is this something that happened due to jostling during shipping?  I ask because the packaging seemed fairly flimsy.  

Off to email the service elves (it being Xmas and all)....

Thanks for providing this forum!
