It's black from the start and I can't even reach the screen to choose to boot from USB to install OpenELEC or even restore the stock firmware. I don't have a display-port cable to try that either. My only idea right now is to try to restore the stock firmware but i'd need to do it blind with someone telling me exactly what to type.

I'm still working on this, but best I can tell what is happening is that the connected display is not responding in time/correctly, so the VGA BIOS is switching to the other connection type, and obviously not finding anything, but doesn't go back to the original connection.

I certainly don't think you need to restore the stock firmware; you just need to find a monitor that "behaves" well enough for you to get OE installed

I agree with what Matt says. If you don't have a displayport cable and two monitors your best bet is to try to find another monitor. You can also try timing the key presses right after boot. I have successfully turned on power and pressed [esc] once, then the number '2' and it has booted, even though I see nothing on the screen. I would try that and see what you get. May take a few tries though.
