Did my CrowPanel ESP32 2.9” E-paper HMI Display brick or am i stupid?

I'm fairly new to this.
i just got my CrowPanel ESP32 2.9” E-paper HMI Display and i followed the instructions of installing/setting up arduino ide. When i connected the display using the provided cable, it booted up and output the default home/menu page with a red led lighting up at the back. As i was trying to upload custom sketches, the display would go to sleep(?) when kept idle and the red led would turn off.
The boot button wouldn't do anything but reset button would restart the display. Eventually the display stopped responding completely with led not turning on no matter what.
I tried reconnecting it multiple times, windows recognises when its connected, arduino ide too, even when uploading a sketch, the output shows that the upload was successful with,
'Wrote 364064 bytes (165195 compressed) at 0x00010000 in 2.7 seconds (effective 1084.1 kbit/s)...
Hash of data verified.
Leaving...
Hard resetting via RTS pin...',
but nothing happens at all.
Am i doing something wrong or is it bricked?
i am trying to get my hands on li-ion 3.7 battery hoping it might do something.
