Help. First timer. Bricked Heltec V4

Please be kind and explain it like I’m 3 years old. This is my first LoRa node and I’m trying to create a Meshtastic node.
Just received this yesterday: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GSXWQKNX
Heltec V4+battery+GPS+Case
I followed the build video and got it all connected with antennas, GPS module, battery, case.
It turned on, it booted, splash screen, said it found a couple WiFi networks. All the stuff. Went to flasher.meshtastic.org selected the V4, the most recent stable Beta, and then accidentally turned on the MESTASTIC UI, and flashed my V4. It said 100% but about every two seconds, another group of stuff was added to the log, same thing over and over. Ok, it must be done I thought, so I hit RST to reboot… and nothing.
Now it’s bricked.
It no longer appears to reboot when pressing the RST button (no power LED, dark screen). I searched solutions, and it said to hold PRG press and release RST, the reflash. The computer makes the sound when connecting the USB, I can reflash it (and have tried several times) without the MESHTASTIC UI selected, and I’ve tried a few different firmware versions. It appears to reflash just fine, the logs is full of stuff and I get the reset message. However, the LED never comes on after RST and the screen is blank. The red charge LED is on however, but never the blue/white LED like before.
What now?

It pretty much looked like this after the first flash.


Subsequent reflashes appeared normal.
