The device itself appears to be working but useless because I am unable to see anything, so I sent it in for repair. Luckily, I have my old 1st Gen iPhone laying, so I jailbroke and unlocked it, threw my TMobile SIM in it and I'm good to go for now... Definitely missing my N900...
Seeing as how you're in the east bay of the SF Bay, I'm going to guess you're somewhere near Milpitas or Alameda or something. If that's the case, there should be an overabundance of repair shops that could probably reattach the screen's cable, if gabby131 is right.

On the other hand, if you actually end up needing anything more than that--Good luck. Nokia's customer service has been appalling and it'll be interesting to find out what you do to resolve your screen problems, seeing as how it's incredibly hard to even get the parts, nevermind find a Nokia repair location that will fix it for you.
