So glad to hear from you, Bruce! Glad you've conquered whatever threat it
was to your health.

I had the same symptoms once. It was one of the components on the board
gone bad. I was told that the prime button was the same as jumping 5 to
9. When you release the button, it's the same as taking off the jumper.
Jump 5 to 9 to see if that works. If you've got a spare board, try that.
If you don't have another board, contact me OFFnet.
