@DrunkPunk I didn't see the startup animation when I heard the noise. I looked away for a moment, but generally it lasts longer than that so I'm pretty sure the screen was blank.

@Eldon.McGuinness I followed the instructions given on that page (plugged in USB keyboard, held down sys rq + alt as I turned on the Ouya, then pressed I while holding those buttons down a few times. Instructions said recovery mode is sometimes a black screen, and I saw no change, so I pressed the home key per instructions) unfortunately absolutely nothing happened. The Ouya remained with a steady power light the entire time and the TV is getting visual feed from the Ouya, but it's just a blank screen.
