Guys, I could do cartwheels right now, except I shouldn't, I already way overdid it and I'll be up half the night as it is...As a last ditch effort, I went to apps and hit the update firmware icon. Got the update firmware screen, tapped on the blue blue button. After a couple of moments, the vox shut itself off and restarted. My 3 bottom buttons are lit up again and my battery status indicator is working. Just going to check out other functions now.
