      I had to unplug my mirror and shut it down for the 1st time in months. When I plugged it back in I get to the prompt & that’s it. I have tried pm2 restart mm. No luck. Went into MM folder and tried npm start & that didn’t work

      On pi 3b+ with the new version of MM installed. I set up pm2 when I created the mirror.

      Any thoughts before I start over from scratch

          @sdetweil OK. I’ll have to remove the pi from my mirror & hook up to a tv so I can try to get the info. Ive got screen rotated and its hard to read through the mirror.

                      @motdog sadly this looks like an SD card corruption. Bad file header loading library

                        @sdetweil well that gives me a weekend project then. Is the card reusable with a wipe or do I need to buy a new one?

                          @motdog Probably easier and cheaper to buy a new card. There are some tools out there that you can use to check for bad sectors. But again it is probably cheaper and easier to buy a new one.

                              @motdog It is always a good idea to make a backup of a running system so you can clone it onto a new sd in case.

                                In addition to having a img backup, it’s always a good idea to backup the config file and custom css file.

                                To avoid card corruptions, always SSH into the RPi and perform a sudo shutdown instead of just pulling the plug.

                                    @retroflex I used the shutdown from MMM-remotecontrol to shut it down. 8 did have a backup of config & css on laptop so it was just reinstalling modules for the most part
