Only had my 480 for 2 weeks,  so no expert here, and not sure from your 
description  if the receiver is dead or working.  If it is just something 
goofy going on with the display, maybe it is in demo mode.

Do things  other than the display work, like the knobs and buttons, or is 
it totally dead?
