OK guys, I think this may help some of you out, I know I went nuts over this and just got lucky with Verizon giving me a $50 refub. unit. There is a site
www.codefactory.es they have a neat "Screen Remote Alignment" utility that is in reality for visually impared users, it allows you to get past the screen by loading the data from their files. I have not used this but it looks and sounds like it should work. This is a 40 day free trial, I know that these people must have spent time and money on this so use your discretion on use and payment.
If you find that this works I think you should make it a sticky as I have seen many requests for this utility. Tell em "Lowestpricecopiers" gave you the tip. BTW, there is lots of cool stuff on their site for many makes and models.
