    So guys, i could kinda use some help.

    I replaced the TIM today, and now i have problem.

    When i push the power button, the light turns on for like 1 second, then turns off. Nothing else happens. Also the battery indicator light turns on, at the same time as the power light. Once the power button LED turns off, the battery indicator flashes red twice.

    Any thoughts? I already went back and checked the cables, everything seems to be hooked up ok.
