          in this case I don’t think it is the problem you mentioned with the link.

          digest-fetch is a core dependency, so he may forgot to run npm install in the mm folder. Or if it’s an old installation which is suddenly not working anymore this is may caused by a corrupt SD Card.

                     /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/ical

                    this folder does not exist in the latest release

                    and if u deleted the node_modules folder (per the prior instructions) it should not exist on your system either

                    do

                    grep version ~/MagicMirror/package.json

                              I saved all the modules I had installed…
                              What else for a backup?
                              What about a clean reinstallation?
                              How can I delete everything? It’s enough if I delete the MagicMirror folder?

                                  @zolabus Hi all after all I found a couple of modules causing the issue…
                                  I started from a standard config file and added the modules one by one.
                                  Now I have my magic mirror back
                                  Thanks
