Well, I got all of that backed up, so I went and used the hot air station, and I was able to get all the shields off - but, I also broke the touch screen somehow.

I don't know if I melted the connectors a little too much, or I disturbed some solder points, but it doesn't work any more.

I have previously written a tool that will show a cursor on the screen so it's not the worst thing in the world, unless I accedntally get an update and usbnet gets disabled.

I'm going to charge it up, and see if the battery drain is stopped, but it's time for me to buy a new one I guess.

And now I'll have one for parts if I need the screen. I'm confident the touchscreen still works, and I did something to the board.

Maybe I can try to figure out how to drive it from my arduino or just use it for a shopping list etc.

Thanks for all your time.
