Yes It comes on you get snow ( no cable hooked up) then it shuts off and the power light blinks continuously.

ok if it is getting snow on the screen and you are showing no voltage going to the inverter then you must have a bad meter?? or you are checking this voltage after snow has left the screen?

Yes long after, the snow shuts down after only a few seconds, the power light is still blinking as we speak
