The combiflash might have died ("internal fraction collection error: fraction collector is unable to leave front-back home sensor"). First it clogged. And while working the clog out under manual control the system freaked out. One of the rare times I use manual control with fraction collection (and not just direct to waste).
Might have a small amount of material, but to make life more fun the bulk of the product crashed out on the column before this happened. This was a 1 g reaction, late stage of synthesis with many steps. There are 100s of mg of product. That's light sensitive. The column is 120 g with 192 column volume, so manual elution with a syringe isn't going to be a thing (my largest is 60 mL).
I want to cry. Or break something. I'll take either.
