    I fell asleep and when I woke up I tried typing "Hey" in a text and it kept putting a Excalamation mark. So i turned it off and when i turned it back on it says "Rebuilding now. ." at the top in red. And on the front screen it says "INITIAL PROGRAMMING NEEDED" with a radio tower and a "X" on it. Did I break it in my sleep or somthing?
