Default OG Droid Stuck on Black Screen?

I've been running a Rooted Droid with Chevys SS for awhile now and just a couple of days ago switched to try out Liquid Smooth..

Everything Ran fine for a couple of days, and starting yesterday my phone would sometimes when I press power key to turn screen on would stay black while bottom menu keys would light up. I'd leave it be for a few mins and it would work fine. Now today it started getting worse, When texting and opening keyboard it would freeze(Screen Freeze, Phone still worked as I ended up sending dfkjshfduy txt messages), would have to take out battery..

Well after removing battery to fix freeze it finally took a crap... Now when I turn my phone one, it will sit at a "M" screen, but not centered like it's supposed to, like way off to left, and a little fuzz at bottom right of corner... It eventually loads up, but to a black screen... Pressing power button lights up menu buttons, but still black screen, Txt messages and phone calls come through but cant see or answer...

X + Power does not load up Recovery mode(well it might but all I see is the "M")

Pressing Up + Power does get me into Boot Loader mode(Altho its off centered, but to the right) Once I hook it up to USB in Bootloader mode, text is normal not off centered..

I Unroot Phone Via Bootloader/RSDLite hoping this would help... Still same thing

Here is a picture of what the Off Centered "M" looks like while phone is loading..:

Default same problem

I'm getting pretty much the same problem. I put chevy's latest SS on last night and after a restart just now it left me with a black (dimly lit) screen. Like yours the buttons light up and also once i let it go back to lock the notification light works but i can not do anything about it. Starting to panic but i'm sure there must be a fix.

I'm not so sure about a fix? I've been on forums and all over google and see many many threads about it.. no fixes... Just checked my verizon data usage site and I sent a Txt msg while trying on black screen(Im guessing pressing randomly on the screen lol)

So I know the Phone works... I just got no screen.. I'm really hoping theres a way to fix this.. as I'm as close to broke as it gets, so even getting a used phone off eBay for $50 is not an option lol..

What is the best way to unroot and return to stock if you cant use your phone at all to do it? I think that is my best bet right now.

How did you get that method to work? it still requires you to be able to boot in to recovery.
