blank screen upon boot

[wearytimes]

Just received my tablet in the mail today, upon initial boot before doing anything all I see is the screen turn on followed by nothing. no asus splash screen or anything. I can turn the display on and off using the power button - but that's about it.

anyone else experience this issue yet? I'm sure the device is probably just defective and needs to be returned.

Is it charged?

Charge it for 8 hours then check back and let the forum know.

I should have been more specific in my post. I can clearly see the backlight of the tablet come on when I hit the power button. There is slight light bleed in the lower left hand corner of the display.

The first thing I did was plug it into charge and immediately the backlight of the screen turned on as soon as power was established.

The power button appears to be putting the display into a sleep mode because I can control the backlight - however, that is it - nothing else is ever displayed.

Hmmm, It sounds defective. When I first start the TF up I hit the power button for 5 seconds and the Asus screen appears. Then about 30 seconds later the homepage appears. Hang in there, maybe somebody else will actually have a knowledgeable solution for you

My Transformer worked for two days. It was fully charged overnight for 8 hours. This morning I played with it a few minutes. When I went back to it in about 40 minutes the screen would not come fully on. When I press the power button I can see the back light come on but nothing on the screen. If I hold the power button for 10 to 20 sec the back light goes off. The back light will come on again if I hit the power button. Nothing else on the screen. It is not connected to anything. It did this yesterday but after repeated on and offs it finally came up and worked fine till this morning.

I have exactly the same problem after the device was running smooth for about 10 days. So it seems that this is a general problem.
