My condolences. I suggest that you bring it back for a replacement/repair.

If it can't be done with the device controls, but could be done if I used a bluetooth keyboard, that would also be useful info.
It can be done using a bluetooth keyboard, but there's a big if. The application launcher menu can be brought up with the F3 key (or key combination, i.e. Fn + 3 on the ThinkOutside Sierra). The problem, of course, is that if bluetooth isn't already turned on, and the keyboard paired with the N800, you need to be able to get into Control Panel to turn it on/pair it. And, as far as I know, to get into Control Panel, you need to be able to bring up the application launcher menu.
