Root Phone is dead, have card reader - now what?

Good morning,
When I first got this Ascend I found this website & started messing with the phone. All went well for a little while, then I decided to start deleting things, using the instructions on this site. Well, apparently I didn't pay very good attention, because my stock camera is gone. I can't take pictures, the camera app keeps saying "There is a problem with the camera and it needs to close". In addition, my phone has gotten EXTREMELY slow, almost unusable slow. Drives me absolutely batty. It could take 4 minutes to miss a phone call, hit the phone icon, hit the log icon, hit the missed call & call them back.

To make it worse, my computer all of a sudden died, won't even turn on, so I no longer have access to the original backup that I made for the phone.

This weekend I decided to download the Cricket stock download found in this forum. It aborted every time I tried, no explanation - just aborted. So, I decided to restore the CWM backup that I'd done just before I started messing with it again. JUST before all this, dadgummit! Now I'm stuck at the Huawei logo.

Okay, so I have a card reader - now what? I don't really want to do anything further without asking those who know what the heck they're doing. Help?!

Thank you again,
~Ky

FYI, please note that I am not able to get past the android screen. I have booted into CWM recovery several times & tried pretty much every option available, nothing works. Not flash back to stock, not the Cricket stock zip file, not my saved backups, nada. I do have a computer & a card reader, and the phone is sitting here next to me with the battery out. every time I put the battery in it starts up and hangs, so I'm keeping it out for the time being.
