It sure reads to me as if
YOU wrote that it is running 5.8.10.1 now.
If it was running 5.8.10.1
BEFORE you started this, I would like you to re-read the title of this thread.
The procedure described here is ONLY for the PW3, running 5.8.9.0.1 AT THE TIME it is used on the device.

Whatever the situation was and whatever the situation is now, I can assure you that the image did not break your screen.
It might appear broken, but if it is broken, then it was something physical done to it.
You can tell the difference by watching to see if the left half of the screen ever changes when you reboot it.

Your choices now appear to be:
Since it is brand new, just purchased, return it for replacement.
or
De-brick it using the serial port.

(*) I have had a bunch of requests this week for the file required from people who clearly never read or read and refused to follow that part of the directions.
In every case, my initial response did not include access to the image file.
People who can not read the directions and people who can read but not follow the directions have no business trying anything they find here.
Everything on this site assumes people will read and follow the directions.
(And believe any replies of "No" they might receive.)
