I found a solution. I noticed that pressure on the power connector would sometimes cause a reboot. Reflowing a second time with more solder in that area cleared up all my problems.

My theory is that short interruptions in power made the system glitch and create the symptoms. Remember that the display would go dark and not come back on even though I could see 5v and 6v power on the board.

The other display issues were due to me not understanding the 7-segment alphabet used. For example the strange looking T. Once the display stayed on more than 30 seconds I was able to work it out with email help from support.
