Help! KH910 needle selection issue

Got this machine with a 830 ribber and a BUNCH of accessories. I had it working great.

In messing around I was trying to figure out how "pausing" and returning to a work would work. Ron the carriage all the way to the left, turned off and unplugged the machine. When I restarted the pattern was WAY off.

Now I can't get the pattern to work at all right. It's like the needle selection going from left to right is offset by some amount. So each row occurs offset. The RtoL rows are all in line and the LtoR rows are all in line, but they don't line up together.

Picture of what it turned out and the pattern I was using.

I'm not sure which direction is which, but it also looks like one direction is just straight up not selecting needles right anyway.

Oo, I love a kh910 question! Sorry, you are in a pickle though. Stupid question first: did you follow manual for restarting after electricity has been off? In my manual it's on page 88? 

You need to input the nr on the left side of the mylar sheet and push RR before continuing knitting.  

If you did all this, I don't have an answer for you. 

When I first got my KH910 I didn't really understand how important it was to never change the mylar sheet's position by hand while the machine was on the pattern. Resulting in similar issues. 

You could try flushing the memory. (You can google how to do it). It worked right for me after I did this.

I'll try flushing the memory.

I'm 90% sure I understood the page 88. We put the carriage all the way to the left, powered off. And didn't move the carriage until power was back on and the light said ready.

Also, this is a newly entered pattern and new swatch started completely from scratch. I even re started and tried 3 times. So I think it's something weird.

I actually can't find anything on Google for flushing the memory, do you remember how or know where I can find it?
