I ran the Spark mini firmware update and it says that it updated the mini and then crashed my computer, and now the mini when you turn it on has the 4 red preset lights flash continuously and won’t let me do anything else. I cannot to it. What do I do now? Not happy
Try to run the update again. If it doesn’t help, try to make a hard reset:

If this still doesn’t work, log a support request on Positive Grid website. On some very specific cases, it looks like the firmware procedure doesn’t work properly. PG will provide you with a new updater tool for this
