@JoostWesseling If the LCD doesn't show the banner and the backlight doesn't turn on, it probably isn't getting power at all... I wonder if something got bumped in shipping and the USB connector got disconnected inside the Egg. The cable should be zip-tied down internally to a plastic "sled" to help prevent the connector from coming loose, but it's worth checking.
Does it come on if you plug it into the power supply and plug into the wall?
