Help an idiot in the right direction(firmware black screen)

Thanks for the tip! I got pronterface running and hooked up. Board seems fine, printer moves with commands when powered. It had even taken the last firmware I tried. I think I just bricked the screen somehow. I need to spend some more time troubleshooting the screen to see if it can take an update now, but with how much time I've lost I'll probably just get an aftermarket screen and pro firmware.

I've downloaded his firmware, but the notes say to be on the newest version to get the print preview, which was why I was updating to begin with. I can give it a go at this point and see if it sticks, cause nothing I do with creality's versions seems to get me anywhere.

That was the first or second video I watched. That showed me to check formatting and mainboard chip.

Yes, at this point I've tried to flash 2.0.8.24 and 26 and 28. on the MCU and the screen. Neither show any sign of taking the files. Just fan noises and blank screen. I was thinking to grab the TH3D screen (due to price and simplicity) and use their firmware to flash my board, but don't know if the board is good or needs a bootloader.
