+===== "The ESS has an invalid bootloader signature" Dialog box appears when starting Mach3. =====
+This happens when Mach3 didn't shut down the controller correctly. Power off the controller, wait some time, power on, launch mach3 again. This can happen if someone is logged in with mach3 running in the background, comms are impossible, and a reboot has to be used.
