[Need Replacement] Red LED no longer turns on, does not power on.

Well, it wasn't as easy as it should have been.  Firstly, at my own fault, I was using `dd` from mac, and it wasn't writing the disk image properly, so I switched to my windows machine and used win32 disk imager, and finally had my SD card ready.  Just as a note, I am using the debian build.

My wife and I recently picked up a used 1080p tv, and it's set up but currently not in use, so I decided I'd use that as my test monitor until I figured out how to get the touch screen working (by the way, does anyone have some hardware install instructions for the 7 inch touch screen?  I'm not super familiar with this type of connector).

Well, the screen flickered and it looked like we were ready to go.  The boot text went scrolling by, and then my TV just went blank.  The power was still on, but nothing.  I decided I'd give it another few moments, since it was first boot.  Nothing.  So I plugged in my usb keyboard, and did Ctrl+Alt+F2 to try and get to a terminal screen.  Nothing.  So I thought this could be the TV, so I unplug the HDMI from the tv.  Well, the TV remains completely blank, and doesn't revert back to the "no signal" display.

The culmination of all these events left me a little spent, so I just decided to unplug everything and I'd take a look this morning before I dug into work today.

Today, I hook everything back up, and now I don't get a red power light on the pine64 when I try and boot it up.  I turned on the TV, and it has decided to revert back to working, so I plug in the Pine64, and it immediately goes black again.

So, now I don't know if it's even booting up since there is no LED indications on the board (or on my keyboard when I plug it in ie caps/num/scroll lock don't produce lights).  What's going on?  Is my Pine64 broken after my first attempt on getting it up and running?

Looks like I'm in the same boat as OP from this thread: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=744
If no LED indication,this means your power supply doesn't power the Pine A64 board.
