Greetings.
I played a little too rough with my N800 while it was disassembled and managed to rip the flex cable for the LCD (photo attached). Now the device doesn't power on. Instead, when I try to power it up, the blue led behind the d-pad comes on and off at a set frequency presumably indicating some hardware malfunction and it refuses to boot. Trying to boot up with the LCD completely removed results in the same behavior. Putting in a functional LCD display (from a spare N800) results in the device booting up, so I'm pretty certain that there are no other issues at play here.
I'm not expecting to be able to use this LCD again, but I would still like to be able to use the N800 without a display for various purposes (temperature sensor, webcam, etc). Is this possible?
