OK, this is weird. I used the new Fuze to help me navigate the menus on the old one, and it got it to play. It plays, it has some charge on the battery, and the navigation wheel works. I used a flashlight to force some light onto the display, and I can tell that it works, except for the backlight.
So, it seems that the backlight and wheel light don’t work, and the computer doesn’t see the SD card when I insert one. I guess that’s progress, at least in narrowing the problem.
