Would like to fall amazed to hear about what you have gone through during this session and about ails the machine has gone through in my creepy hands.

Well those commands were meant for diagnosis only, they haven't changed anything. It looks like your problem fixed itself, which I'm glad to hear, but I can't take credit for it.
