Thanks for the responses! I've contacted Booxstor and am waiting to hear back. If he isn't able to help, and/or thinks the problem is the screen (not just the cable), I will order a new screen.

The part number is - ED097OC4 (LF) and it seems to be fairly easy to find and costs about $100. I did find one store selling them for $70. I've seen some complaints from Kindle owners about poor quality replacement screens. I hope that the one's I'm seeing are actually identical to my original screen!

I also installed on an SD card and really couldn't figure out how anyone was getting installs to the internal memory to work! I just had a thought about your problem: Did you check that you have free space on the Obuntu root partition? If it was incorrectly sized, that could explain why you ended up with a broken system.

Also, is your wifi working in the stock OS? (did you eliminate the possibility of a hardware problem?)

I guess I should look at the other thread before I comment here, because you've probably checked these things and much more!

One more thought, though: If you're still having trouble, since you're using an SD card, maybe you should try the other Obuntu version on a different card.

I wish I could remember more clearly what I had to do to get everything working. I did spend a very long time on this, first of all because I have an Artatech model, and had to flash the Booxstor firmware.
