Turn the power off on the switch on the back, and then back on again. Hold down the power button, keep on holding it down after the first beep, but let go once another couple of beeps sound. It should then take at max a minute but then it should show a screen set up section.

Mine was doing that and I ordered a replacement power supply board for it and now it work. It's fairly easy to replace.
