the scroll ball is lit but the netbook screen is blank. I've had this sucker off and on, with battery in/with battery out over and over, and every time I turn it back on, it just sits there-nothing seems to work ever change. I had a thought that there might be some combination of buttons that might work (ala alt/cntl/delete) but couldn't find a combination. Kind of frustrated that there isn't support available today but I guess its a semi-holiday. was just hoping I could play with it this weekend...oh well. I'll give up until Monday. Thanks for your help!
