--- * close up --> image : full removal
+This version of Vizy is often a few updates behind our latest. Once your reimaged Vizy is online, our first recommendation is to update using Vizy's Menu [[https://docs.vizycam.com/doku.php?id=wiki:update_vizy_software|Update Vizy]] \\
+=== Retrieve MicroSD Card ===
+Unscrew the four screws securing the bottom part of Vizy's case. The Vizy screwdriver has the proper size phillips bit for this and it's recommended for use to avoid stripping the screw heads. \\
+Carefully remove the microSD card \\

+=== ReImage MicroSD Card ===
+Prepare your microSD card to connect with your computer, and open your preferred Imaging Software. The [[https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-imager-imaging-utility/|RaspberryPi Imager]] is made to work with RaspberryPis, the micro-computer running Vizy, and has its own 'how-to' which might be helpful. Run the Imager, select 'Custom OS' to locate the Vizy Image file downloaded in step 1, and select the microSD as the storage target.
+Once the image is finished writing, continue to the next step. \\
