I can confirm the same problem (static screen) and fix.
I'd had my N7 for a week, never dropped etc. I'd left it all day without using it although the battery was at about 47% and when I came to turn it on I'd get nothing but static on the screen. Trying the various push buttons for 30 seconds approached made no difference, the device would power cycle but only to a static screen - i.e. there was no ability to select any menu options.
At first I though the screen was damaged but if I removed and replaced the USB charger, I'd get the Google logo for a fraction of a second before it reverted to static again.
Eventually, prior to returning it, I opened the back to check the battery connection (using the method from ifixit). Sure enough the battery connector was loose. Pushing it fully home has resolved the problem entirely.
