My latest chat with romman:

Wulfie: hey romman, can you send me the instructions on what to 'fix' for the SC?  I know how to use a soldering iron
romman:
Wulfie: mine isn't broken, but it would still be nice to know
Wulfie: you can email me if it would be easier
romman: I think "SC can not find Cf" problem should be CF slot loose from curcuit board
romman: you just use solder iron press each pin of CF slot which connect to the curcuit board.
romman: this problem can be fixed.

The real problem is just bad workmanship on the Supercard.   Since a CompactFlash card uses a parallel data path (like an IDE drive,) if one pin isn't soldered well on the inside of the Supercard, it can't read the CFM.  Secure Digital cards use a serial data path (like SATA) and therefore have less pins to worry about.

If your Supercard can't read your CFM, and your CFM works in another Supercard, then your Supercard must be faulty.  Since it does boot, then the internal RAM is probably OK, the CFM connector is probably bad.  Check that none of the pins that plug into the little holes on the CFM are bent, then take it apart and try to re-flow the solder on the CFM connector.

If you're not skilled enough to the soldering, then don't try.  Contact Hopebuy and arrange for a refund or return - if you paid with PayPal or a credit card you may be able to get a refund through them.

I bought the supercard 2 month ago and I was quite satisfied with it. But After 1 month of use, I had an error CF not found. By moving the CF card, the problem was solved. But since last week The GBA doesn’t recognise the CF card. I read some post about people having the same problem. I try to open it to see if there is a problem but I did not see any. I try to move the CF card and finally I broke accidentally a lot of wires between the CF connector and the card. Anyway, I"m still interested to have another but I"m afraid to have the same problem. I would like if there were a lot of a person experiencing the same problem and is there people having the supercard since a long time without any troubles. :cry:

I've had mine for about 2 months with no problems.  According to vtr4423, hopebuy will replace them if they're broken, so you might wanna give that a shot.
