If the backlight comes on, it doesn't sound like a hardware problem. It sounds to me like a corrupted file.

And, don't worry about trying our patience, we're happy to help when you have problems. Just wish we could have fixed this quickly.

This is mainly an FYI for Jack. Got my Gryphon back from Edge today and it turns out the problem was my module harness. Working fine now except as you would expect I now have an EVO instead of a Gryphon. I went to Pegasus and attempted to download my custom tunes but I keep getting an error message that basically ends with "contact PHP". Yeah, I know everyone's gone for a week for a family reunion..... maybe someday!
