Serious problems after failed upgrade

I tried to upgrade last night (Mar 15th), and it didn't complete, but the
display got messed up enough that I couldn't continue the process. I
thought the upgrade was complete since the command prompt was back, so I
rebooted.
After the reboot, I have a few problems, and I'm not sure how to fix it.
1) the boot menu doesn't come up (aux-power)
2) when booted normally, it doesn't recognize the USB connected, and the
battery doesn't charge.
3) I can't start any programs except the terminal. (this means I can't dim
the backlight to make the battery last longer and gain more time to solve
this problem)
I have an A6 FreeRunner, and since the "brick" problems were fixed by the
boot menu, I didn't buy the debug board.
Is there any way to recover my phone? If I need to buy a debug board,
hopefully I'll be able to find one. If there's something I can do to get it
to even get to the boot menu, I'd be happy.
In hindsight I should have left it turned on, connected via SSH and finished
the upgrade without a reboot, but unfortunately I didn't. :( I've never
lost the boot menu.
I'm on SHR-unstable, and my bootloader is Qi.
I appreciate any help offered.
