Important notes

  1. Solid Red (Device Exception):
    • When the indicator light is solid red, indicating an error, connect to xTool Creative Space (XCS) and check the pop-up messages for troubleshooting.
    • If no pop-up appears, restart M1.
    • For more troubleshooting advice on pop-up error messages, refer to "Troubleshoot Error Code Collection for M1”.
  2. Flashing White (Device Starting Up):
    • If the device is starting up and the indicator is flashing white for a long time (over 3 minutes), this suggests a potential malfunction.
    • Try restarting the device.
    • If restarting does not resolve the issue, consult “How to Burn Firmware for M1 with a Micro SD Card?for troubleshooting advice.
