Hi guys, I was programming my UV82 for the first time when I foolishly pressed the PTT while the programming cable was plugged in.

Some strange characters apeared on the screen and the flashlight turned on. I turned off the handy and now every time I try to turn it on this happens (every "pixel" in the LCD screen turns on). Also, now chirp won't recognize the handy when I try to download/upload the data.

Does anyone have any idea of what happened? Can this problem be fixed? Did I just screw up my first handy? Thanks in advance for any info.

(Sorry if I misspelled, english is not my first language)
