Diagnose and resolve signature capture issues on a Clover Mini terminal. Safe handling procedures and preventative maintenance included.
Refer to the Clover Mini power adapter specifications and verify with a multimeter if possible.
Access the Clover system logs through the administrator interface. Consult Clover documentation for log analysis.
Document any incidents that could have contributed to the failure.
The signature capture functionality relies on capacitive or resistive touchscreen technology. Signal integrity between the touchscreen controller and the main system board is critical. External electromagnetic interference (EMI) or electrostatic discharge (ESD) can disrupt data transmission. Data corruption in the secure element can also trigger this error.
Safe Handling: Before performing any troubleshooting steps, disconnect the Clover Mini from its power source. Avoid using excessive force when manipulating cables. Do not use conductive cleaning solutions. Internal modification is forbidden. This device incorporates PCI-PTS security measures; opening the casing will trigger permanent damage and void any warranty.
Regularly clean the touchscreen with an anti-static cloth. Minimize cable strain by ensuring cables are properly routed and supported. Ground the device properly. In dry environments, consider using a humidifier to reduce the risk of ESD.
Try a 'soft reset' by holding the power button down for 10-15 seconds. This forces a complete system restart and can sometimes clear persistent errors without affecting data. Document all troubleshooting steps for Clover support, including the exact error messages and actions taken.
