      Here are a few things to do.

      • Check if the Server is still running
        • On the Raspberry Pi open a browser and visit localhost:8080 If you see a black screen the server is still running which is good…
      • Check your changes with git status. Any changes that you didn’t make on purpose? (Especially check the updatenotification module Validate them and revert them if needed
      • Rename your config _config.js (Or someting…) to force the MagicMirror to load the default config.js, check if the expected config file error appears
      • Meditate over your changes you might miss an obvious error in your code
      • Post the censored config.js file here

        Your MM has been missing modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js. (I don’t know why)
        You can copy https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js then paste it as new file and save it to MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js.

        Or reinstall MM.

              So the correct path is

              MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/index.js
