I checked the connections, same result. I removed the LCD and tried the board alone with a good HDMI cable; same result: black screen.
I attempted to verify the image on the "Pre-loaded Micro SD card" with both a Windows 8 and a Macbook, but both state that the "disk is not readable"??? WTF?
What next? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I believe Android utilises an EXT4 file system, which is not natively recognised by Windows or OS X, so they will not recognise the data on the microSD and may ask to format it.
