Bruce, I tried reinserting the RAM. No go. Still only half capacity. But thanks for the tip.
Lube loss in the ZIP was something I didn't think of. And yes, it is old, altho I've only used a few times in all these years and kept it in a plastic bag until recently. But I am reassured that these problems were coincidence and not related to the bomb/crash etc. Thanks!
