This seems to indicate that there is an error in config/config.js. Run the following on the command line in the ~/MagicMirror/ directory: npm run config:check

Pi (Pi4 in metal heat-sink case) was running really warm. Powered it off and left it for a while.

Powered on, it has no networking and file manager does nothing.
If I can get networking enabled, I’ll make a config and CSS backup.

Looks like it’s going to need an OS reinstall which will have to wait until I have time to do so.
I’ll report back when that’s done.
