Welcome to our AndroidForums, @razzman457 :).

I've moved your thread over here to the 1st gen N7 area for you.

First thing I'd try would be to make sure it's got a good, long, full charge on it (12 hours would be good) just to make sure the battery isn't drained.

As I wrote the above I realized you might have some charge on it since you're seeing something on your PC?

I'd still make sure you get a full charge first before expecting it to talk w/your PC.

Cheers!
 
Try pressing and holding the power button for a good 20 to 30 seconds. This should force a reboot in case something is locked up. (same as a battery pull).

Do you see any kind of screen flicker or image when you do this?
