How long is the light flashing for? A few seconds, or a lot longer?

If it is only a few seconds, that usually means the battery is flat. Some of these problems are because of a run-away process consuming power and running he battery down quickly. My usual factory reset steps starts with "charge for at least an hour".

If the flashes last longer, it might actually be doing the factory reset but the screen isn't working.

I've seen some people with similar problems mention that.
Maybe. But, it would also give you a chance to reseat the internal micro SD card and check the screen cable is plugged in OK. You can also try restoring an image to the card and seeing if that fixes it.
