How did you "reset" it to t?  Using setq won't work because the
variable is buffer-local, meaning when you set it, the new
value only takes effect for the current buffer.  I think
the following should work though:

  (set-default 'case-fold-search t)

No clue how you got into this state...

Check the value of isearch-case-fold-search, which is global.

Perhaps you have isearch-toggle-case-fold bound to a key (check
isearch-mode-map).

I know it doesn't solve the problem, but you can use M-c within a search
to toggle case-foldigkeit.
