The continuation of Grrr!

Ok, so I went home last night and sat down to try and figure out this 
weird problem I'm having using some of the advice on the list.  First 
thing I did was sit down and back up everything in my XL-7 (err, really 
just the Multi's as I back everything else up daily anyway), and then 
reloaded the OS.  This went fine and once it was done, the XL-7 appeared 
to be running better.  No more menu delays, and my Presets seem to be ok 
too.  The data wheel was still a bit strange, but I think that might just 
be the data wheel getting on in years (what was the name of the spray you 
guys used to clean it with? I'm too lazy to look it up).

Then, just to be safe, I decided to check the diagnostics too.  Entered 
diagnostic mode (power on while holding both Cursor buttons, in case you 
forgot) and ran all the tests, everything checked out ok.  I go to Screen 
18 to reboot the XL-7, and it turns off and then..... stays off.  Hmm, 
power cycle, it still nothing, dead as a door nail.  I pull the power 
cord, wait 15 minutes, try again, and still nothing.   Tried again a 
couple of hours later, and it still won't power up.

Big thanks to Aaron, the Emu expert, for his sage-like advice.  :)  Hehe, 
just kidding with you man.

Anyway, I get up early this morning and try it again, and lo and behold it 
turns on!  Ok, so now it seems to be working, but I'm not too comfortable 
with it's stability at this point.  Kind of worrisome that took all night 
before it would even turn on again, and I have no explaination what could 
be causing it.  Long story short, everything appears to be fine now, but 
for how long is the question that worries me.  Hopefully I'll know more by 
Monday.

Thanks again to everyone for their advice, except Aaron (hehe, that was a 
joke too).
