You were probably stuck in FEL mode, no need to disassemble the device. There’s an explanation on how to get out of it here: [My device is not booting!](https://community.muos.dev/t/my-device-is-not-booting/35)

Now that you get it to boot, if you can hear the navigation sounds, just increase the brightness with menu+volUP

And don’t ever use the reset button when stuck in these situations, use the safe shutdown or safe restart hotkeys: [When should the reset button be used?](https://community.muos.dev/t/when-should-the-reset-button-be-used/44)
