Hi, Joe.

Well, I had the same issue (I caused it while playing with Python and
the SD card). I had to re-flash the machine. It's easy to do and it
fixed my problem perfectly.

Now, keep in mind that I'm a total newbie and know nothing. And, IF this
is the same problem . . .

The instructions are here:

This link drops you into the instruction wiki in the edit mode, so don't
 "improve" the entry. Just copy it to a word processor, print it out,
and do what it says. Note: you will lose any activities you had in progress.

When you go to get the files, your current software version is 650.

Thanks to Rafael Ortiz Guerrero this worked great for me.
