+This makes it easier to get UART output on the 40-pin header in early boot-code, for instance during bare-metal debug.

 === Overclocking problems
 
-Most overclocking issues show up immediately with a failure to boot. If this occurs, hold down the `shift` key during the next boot. This will temporarily disable all overclocking, allowing you to boot successfully and then edit your settings.
+Most overclocking issues show up immediately, when the device fails to boot. If your device fails to boot due to an overclocking configuration change, use the following steps to return your device to a bootable state:
+
+. Remove any clock frequency overrides from `config.txt`.
+. Increase the core voltage using `over_voltage_delta`.
+. Re-apply overclocking parameters, taking care to avoid the previous known-bad overclocking parameters.

 == Raspberry Pi boot EEPROM
 
-Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4, 400, Compute Module 4, and Compute Module 4S computers use an EEPROM to boot the system. All other models of Raspberry Pi computer use the `bootcode.bin` file located in the boot filesystem.
