Are you _sure_ it's responding to pings? The network isn'f configured until the player is loaded, which isn't happening here.

IDE problem. Probably the cable. Possibly the IDE header. SInce you've mentioned a ripped cable, I'd chase this down first. Get a new one from Eutronix (link up top).

If there's nothing at all on the display then you've probably misaligned the display cable when swapping them about and blown a fuse.

I should be able to fix both these issues, but let's narrow them down first. Start with the cable.
