Gerber Issues on startup

[jtmercutio]

I am a new owner of a gerber edge. (the original edge). I plugged it in, turned it on, and it shows NOTHING in the LCD display. I read somewhere online that it can take up to 5 minutes to warm up. I Let it set for 10, still nothing in the LCD display. I put vinyl in, thinking maybe it doesnt work if vinyl isnt in there. Still no luck. Does anyone have any functional knowledge of the gerber edge, and why it isnt working? I suppose I could wait til monday when I can contact the guy I bought it from, but I am really impatient right now lol.

Thanks to anyone who may have some help

Sounds like you have no power to the Edge or a blown fuse. On turning the switch on, are you hearing any beeps or internal motion of parts?

yeah it makes noise, no beeps though.

Noise ... you have power. No beeps and you've got a bad circuit board in all likelihood.
