Okay, so today I was in my room around 5:00.  There was a power surge.  The lights flashed.  The air conditioner went off.  The TV in the hallway started blaring.  So, I got my step ladder to turn off the TV.  As I came back into my class, I thought, "Hmm, a power surge made my projector stop working.  I wonder if it would make it start again."  So I took my ladder to the projector and wiggled the cord then turned it off and back on.  I saw a flicker of light where the power light used to be lit.  So I wiggled the cord and made sure it was all the way plugged in.  This time, there was a full red light by the power button.  When I pressed the power button, the "fried" projector actually worked!  Too bad the computer guy doesn't.  Last week he took the projector and pronounced it DEAD!  Maybe the power surge jump started it.  I hope that it is still working in the morning. Five weeks without a board is way too long to have to teach on a chart tablet.
