Hi everyone, I had a crecked screen on my Voyage, bought a used screen from powerbookdoctor, and replaced it. Fully charged, seemed to be ok. Unfortunately, it gets stuck on the screensaver. If i press the power button, after about a minute it goes to the main menu/screen/UIwith backlight on but it then goes back immediately to the screen saver. I tried many many resets, 30, 40, 60 seconds, plugged, unplugged, plugged to a computer - it's recognized ok, i also tried wiping the documents and the other folder, and always the same.
I cannot do a factory reset, nor can I update the firmware manually, nor jailbreak it, because all these require entering the original user interface, which is what mine won't do. The kubrick cd seems not to be available for the voyage. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!!!
