Long story short, my wife went to read a book, and the pressing the power button no longer causes a change in the screen. I tried all of the reset mechanisms, none of them cause the screen to come back. The LED still flashes when you hold down the power button, but no change in the screen.

I've pulled it apart, checked the SD Card, replaced the sdcard with a new one with a fresh imaged provided by a helpful user here. Still nothing. The only think I have left to try is hooking serial up to the UART headers on the board, but I haven't been able to figure out what the voltage to use is (and don't want to fry the board if it's still possibly good).

At this point I'm guess that the screen has died for some reason, but I thought Id ask to see if anyone had other suggestions.
