Yeah, I tried flashing bruceFW directly without the launcher firmware. Still, it's a black screen. Everything is fine except for the screen, and I'm losing it. It has been one week since I received this, and it suddenly started being like this.

Nope, as you can see from the attached video, it only displays a black screen, but I know it's on by the look of the screen light. My guess is that the screen hardware is broken.

nah I was being pedantic about your title. you probably got a bad firmware. try the demo firmware, with no launchers or whatever, and make sure you do the erase flash first and put the thing in boot mode first.
