Crazy to get banned for making an offer. The buyer can always say no! Anyway, I think I got an OK deal. The price seemed good originally, but shipping was high. I think I basically made up the difference in shipping. He charged $11, and the package that got to me had $5 of postage on it....

Anyway, I seem to be stuck with this new one. It won't boot at all. I notice that even my original one won't boot if, for example, the battery isn't connected to it. The new one won't boot even with everything connected, though. I don't know if it's bad, or if this is user error of some sort, or maybe it's a variant expects different display hardware, or.... well, the possibilities are just about endless, and I don't have much ability to diagnose. If anyone has any brilliant ideas I'm up to try just about anything, otherwise I think my saga might be at an end, at least on the Aura front.
