I can get the screen to go black, it just turns back on after I plug it in
I've been charging my battery as for like half an hour, the battery status is "OK"
should I try it now?
Are you plugging into the wall? I would give it more time to charge. You're going to need all the battery you can get, especially if you run into more issues. Like Sam said, just breath a little. We'll get this worked out.
