[Solved] Self test, axis, bed level, sudden trouble  

Self test, axis, bed level, sudden trouble

Ok, I don't even really know where to start.  Never had issues before so I'm just going to go through the sequence of events here...

This is a well working printer, no problems with it for about a year now.  Finally hopped on board the octoprint bandwagon this weekend and got that all running successfully.   Everything was fine... until it wasn't...

I installed the spaghetti detective pluggin.  Rebooted, and immediately got a message that the pluggin was out dated and needed to be updated.  Thought that was odd since I had literally just installed it.  Anyway, clicked update and it did its thing, I did see it go from i think 1.5.0 to 1.5.1...  after that was completed I uploaded and started a new print.  It heated up but then failed as it tried to home the axis, z specifically, and gave me an error that said something like auto level failed, confirm nozzle is clear awaiting reset.   So... I reset... I happen to see (possibly for the first time) a message flash that an updated firmware is available, please update.   It finishes booting... I try to move the z axis manually by using the long press of the know.  It let's me go all the way up but only a very small amount down.   The screen claims the x axis is at 0.0 but it's actually nearly all the way up.   I tried running a self test, that failed as well but on the z axis.  Said something about z axis travel too much or something... not sure... anyway.   Kinda last here, not sure where to start.   Any help is greatly appreciated!
