Bricked SC Mini SD

I don't know what really happend. I turned on my DS, and the SC screen was "corrupted". I've tried to remove and put the SC in slot 2 several times, but things have only got worse. I've cleaned the contacts, etc. Sometimes, it works. But i just turn off the DS and SC crashes again. At this time, i only got two white screens. I've tested another SC, and this one is working fine. My broken SC doesn't work with another DS either.

Someone can help me?

Thanks.

check if the board in the supercard is loose or moving about.. if it is you can probaly take it apart and secure the board back in it's porper position
Yes I'm mad

I'll try this solution. Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem with my supercard mini.  Sometimes the card loads and all the text is screwed up(except for the tabs at the top) and other times I get white screens.  Every 6 or 7 times it works correctly.  I noticed it after I updated to the new firmware so I thought that might be it but I haven't changed it yet.....Javagod, did you notice your problems after an update?

what is bitbit?????  And now my card is completely crapped out.. I tried changing back to 1.7 to see if it was the update and now I get nothing but white screens.....This sucks

Maybe it's the mini sd because I have a problem with one of my sd cards and it dosnt work sometimes. So try a different mini SD card

Tried another card and no go. Just white screens.  Any other suggestions or should I look into buying a new supercard?  Is there a way to remove the internal battery and reset it?  I think I'm reaching on that one.

use a .scu file update  .. try 1.63 (or might be 1.61, i can't remember) and 1.80 these are all .scu files and will auto-run before the sc firmware loads... this may rescue the cart for you.

I saw that on another thread but it doesn't seem like my supercard wants to start at all

Anyone have the 1.80 .scu update? I can't find it and my supercard won't boot up now. I can get to self test and it says nothing is wrong.

try the scu file from the 1.63/2.55C package for your type of SC from here...  it contains a .scu file

if thats works then you can then go to 1.70 then 1.81

There wasn't an scu file in there.

Anyone remember who figured out how to flash the supercard's firmware using the contacts inside the case?

meangreenie

oh sorry.. the .scu is in the CF version, thought the others would be the same

No, it was broken by itself. I didn't update the firmware. I was using the last one before 1.8 (1.71, i guess). My SC was doing exactly what yours was doing: screwed text, sometimes colors, too. My Mini SD is ok and working fine.

I'll try to update the firmware to 1.63. If the SC loads the firmware file before boot, there is a chance to get success. But i can't even do the self test...

Anyway, i just bought an R4.
