**WARNING**BAD**ENGLISH**Sorry, it is not my native language =) thx
Hello,

I got a imported JAP NDS,
half a year ago, i bought me a SuperCard CF(I had to cut it down till it fits in the slot of my NDS), everything worked fine for one month, movies..gba... and so on...

after a month I got a white screen in the upper screen(after the GAMEBOY startup).
second screen keeps black...

Well, my NDS recognizes that there is a GBA Card inserted..but thats it.

Since flashme and some new infos about using CF + Flashme came up,
im know interested again..

My Question are,
1. has anyone information on Chip-Design?
2. can I solder a bridge ore something else that could do the trick?
3. Can I flash my SC on a other way than with compact Flash card?
4. Is there a way to do a hardware reset on the Card?

well, i often posted question in the official Forum, but nothing happens..
you know..they always say "polish the pins ...etc..."

As I had to cut it down, i had no gurantee anymore.

They know that they have some failure SC (chips, ram, rom...or whatever) but they will not admit it. poor!

thx 4 reading and reply =)

Make sure it's making contact with the DS.  Mine gets pushed up each time so the contact is poor.  I had to push it down (check the bottom where it is supposed to connect with the DS and make sure the contacts are not hiding behind the plastic cover).  Since I manually push it down, it's been working ok.

Thx for posting back =)

well..i tried hard..but this is not my problem ( i think) .

I also shoved (sharpend?) my SC Case down..but, what do you think, how far should the pins came out of the case?

Okay, i pushed the PCB only in to the GBA slot, but there is still the same problem.

I think that the Flash is corrupt. I am  looking for a way to reset or test the flash of the SC.

when you turn it on (or launch the SC from DS menu), do it holding the 2 (R+L) shoulder buttons and that should run a diagnostic on the cart... of course, if its really messed it may not start even that.

You sure your CF is formatted to FAT and not FAT32?

Most of the time the problem is that you bent a pin when you pushed the CF card into the Supercard.

Look in the SuperCard and see if there are any bent pins and if there are use a small screwdriver or tweezers to straighten it.
