Try enabling R&D mode via flasher and possibly also disable watchdogs.

I have one 770 with LCD completely dead (but present) and it boots with R&D mode enabled. When seeing serial console output from bootloader it checks for LCD and fails to detect the hardware but it still boots. There are some errors later in boot sequence but I get the shell on serial and device stays on.
