So the unit arrived sans a power adapter (though the ebay seller offered one in the sale). It seems stuck at a screen that says "Download History" and then under that: "etc" and "tmp". Attempts to power the unit on have failed. I've tried to reset it on the back to no luck.

Some questions:

Is it normal for a powered down device to display anything on the screen?

How do I connect this thing via USB? It doesn't appear to use a standard USB or miniUSB connector.

Is there any way for me to verify that this is the real unit and not a scam without being able to power up the unit?

Thanks for any advice offered,
