I followed all setup instructions etc and tried my best to find an answer in these forums, but no luck.
I saw people with blank screens, but my Pod XT passed the SRAM test that most were doing.
I just got this today, so it should be in perfect working order.

I have also done a flash reset and everything else I could find, the only time I can see ANYTHING at all on the screen of the pod is when I boot in Safe Mode B, with the SRAM test.
