Don't waste hours of frustration. Just charge it up, put on the telly and repeatedly do factor reset (which is 40-60 seconds of holding down the on/off button). Less frustrating that way.
I have had it plugged in now for about a week with no change in the screen so I will try this now. Thanks for your reply!
