Thanks very much.

Okay, I can telnet in to device. (Took me a little while, since everything I know about usb networking fits in a thimble, and I was using 192.168.2.* as my local LAN, so using offline device finally did the trick. )

Anyway, I can see the root directory with "ls" and I can ping back to the USB host PC, so I guess the phone has booted up. From what you wrote, I gather the screen is dead but the phone lives. Anything else I should test before attempting to get it fixed?

Thanks again,
Rob
