The four tabs in the corners of the screen?
Try taking the screen off, taking some photos for us, and then replacing the screen.

You are allowed to upload pictures, select "upload attachment", select and upload your file, then click on "insert inline" ;)
The 4 metal tabs which holds the screen to the PCB don't carry any signal, their purpose is purely mechanical, it's not a problem if they a scratched.
When you tell that your Gamebuino doesn't start please be more precise: do you have the start-up sound? Did you try to upload a program through USB?

You can change the size of your pictures using paint or any simple image software.
Please try to upload a program through USB, it's the third time I ask you and you didn't try this simple solution which is likely to solve your problem, or at least to tell us what works and what doesn't.
