STARTUP
After being power-on, the MiniMad will boot and display the “mad” logo for 30 to 60 seconds before
starting the media playback.
If the mad logo doesn’t appear, please refer to the RESTORE THE SD-CARD section.
Using MiniMad Light, if the sequence doesn’t start playing after the boot sequence, rst check the
MiniMad LEDs and refer to the LED STATUS section, then plug the MiniMad to a HDMI display to get
more info and feedback.
LED STATUS
Red
The red LED should always be static when powered and running.
The red LED blinking rapidly means the MiniMad requires activation: plug your MiniMad onto a HDMI
display and follow the on-screen procedure. (cf. ACTIVATE YOUR MiniMad SD-CARD).
The red LED blinking slowly or randomly means the MiniMad doesn’t get enough current from the
power-supply: please make sure you use the ocial power-supply provided with the MiniMad, and that
the connector is not damaged.
Green
The green LED blinks when accessing the SD-card.
The green LED should start blinking rapidely right after the MiniMad has been powered on.
If the green LED is not blinking at startup, you can start by cleaning the SD-card pins using a soft tissue,
and make sure there’s no dust preventing the internal SD-card reader to access the SD-card by blowing
in the reader’s cutout.
When shutting down using the embedded buttons, USB keyboard, MiniMad Controller or the dedicated
OSC command, the green LED will blink 6 successive times to indicate the device can be electrically
powered-o.
RESTORE THE SD-CARD
If you experience diculties with your MiniMad, the rst thing to do is to restore your SD card by following
the procedure detailed on page 21 of this guide.
The MiniMad image disk is huge - if the downloaded le doesn’t work it’s mostly due to a download fail
at some point, you’ll have to download the image disk again.
By the way, always prefer the SD-card which comes with the MiniMad unit and above all avoid cheap
ones.
Plus, if after ashing the SD-card your MiniMad fails to start, it’s possible that there’s some dusk stuck in
the unit SD-card reader - you can try removing the card and blowing air in the slot to clean it.
Also make sure you are using the latest version of MadMapper available in MadMapper Downloads.
