Firmware updated with a broken screen

I am the third owner of this MK3. It has a cracked screen. I have been trying to get it back into a healthy shape so I can donate it to a worthy user or school.

In my pursuit to get it up and running, I decided to try PrusaLink/PrusaConnect. It requires firmware 3.10+. So I flashed the latest firmware from prusa slicer.

The screen seems to be wanting me to set something up via the wheel. But I can't read it. I am trying to connect via PrusaLink, but I'm getting "NOT USABLE" on the correct port.

Is there a guide somewhere to what the screen might be asking me, so I can answer with the little wheel?

Is there a way to bypass the init screen via some command over the USB?

Thanks in advance. I am a Linux user, software engineer, and experienced 3D printer (but this is my first Original Prusa).

I went ahead and clicked through the screen without knowing what I was agreeing to. I think it was doing some self checks. But once it reached the info screen (I can read a few characters), it was able to connect. So that fixed the immediate issue related to this question.

I am trying to do things like calibrate the Z offset. But it doesn't seem to be available anywhere but in the screen. Is that correct? I guess I should order a new screen.

That's a good idea. Anyone in the Denver metro area that would have a spare MK3 screen?
