In any case, it cannot harm if you try again to factory reset the device (maybe it did not work the first time):
  • Make sure the battery is charged by having the device connected to the pc for some time
  • Hold the power slider for 20 seconds or longer in the on/off position (the screen is not expected to change at this point) and release it
  • Hold down the light button and power the device on while keeping the light button held down. Release light button and power slider after the reset has started.
  • Wait until the reset has finished. Sometimes this can take rather a long time.

You are right... The screen was broken... I've disassembled it...
