I decided to turn the brightness all the way down and then turn it back up to see it that would help.  Unfortunately, and to my great chagrin, when I turned the light all the way down it was completely black.  I couldn&#8217;t see the inputs at all.  That&#8217;s not good.  Eventually, I tried to turn it off to reset it, but I couldn&#8217;t the the cursor I was supposed to slide to turn it off.  So bizarre.  Finally, I realized I hadn&#8217;t gotten it to restart.  Then just imagined the button and did the clicks and it turned it back light again.  The body knows more than the mind.
