Screen won't turn on

[celticfdguy]

I have a Surface RT that won't turn on. I thought it might have been something with the power source as nothing on the surface indicates it has power, maybe a bad battery? Well, I cracked this think open and I found this little red light. If I hit the power button, the little red light turns on. If I hold the power button down, it goes off after like 10 seconds. This occurs on battery as well. Does this mean the screen is dead? This thing was very well maintained. I included a picture for reference with the LED light.
