Hi Guys,

Well what a Carry on im having with 5 moons.  
The SD card is in FAT 32 & I’ve already reformatted it to OS Journal and that didn’t make any difference.

Ive held down the 5 bottom buttons and they are flashing but my computer still isn’t recognising it.

Ive tried it on 2 computers and same problem:(  
Any ideas?

Cheers

Was it working, then stopped working? How did you format the card, using the USB-C cable, or card reader?

If you are having problems with the SD card, the best thing to do is re-flash the card (last section in manual):

Hey buddy,

I managed to get it all working.  
My old mac recognises it in disk mode but my M1 does not ,

All is good until my old Mac dies 😂😂 great little machine this is!
