Disclaimer: I've never touched an EV3. So these are general hardware
troubleshooting suggestions.

 

Dumb question, but: if the screen is already blank, how do you know that you
pressed back-center-left long enough?

 

Does the EV3 do anything? I.e., are there programs on it that can be run? Or
perhaps you've convinced yourself that you've reset it because it no longer
does so? Did it function *at all* once it started misbehaving?

 

Can you reload firmware? Again, I've never touched on, so I don't know what
that entails.

 

Just brain (mind?) storming.

 

Amazon is still open: assuming they're available, you might order one
overnighted. Worst case, you're out $3.99 for overnight + return shipping,
but with the tournament fast approaching, it would be a cheap investment as
insurance. (or maybe you can buy one locally, I don't know; I wouldn't wait
to find out, though, myself).

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] EV3 screen not functioning

 

The screen on my team's EV3 is not functioning at all - completely blank.
Tried power cycling, removing battery, and resetting (per User Guide: press
back-center-left until screen goes blank, release back until "Starting",
release center-left).  Mindstorms customer service is closed but my kids are
still awake!  

Anybody have any ideas?
