How many people who have a Nintendo DS and bought a CF version Supercard from Hopebuy have had to get it replaced??? Mine worked for about a month and 4 days then I got the "white screen of death" after bootup. I mailed it back last Tuesday but im curious as to how many people have had to do this as well and how many times you have had to get it replaced.

Mine got the WSOD but I managed to fix it.  No I didn't get it from Hopebuy but from some polite chap in China who stopped replying to my demand for exchange.
I found out what was going on for my unit, the adapter is made very cheaply.
What happens is the whole PCB gets pushed up when in the DS/GBA and so the contact points stop from making much of any kind of contact at all.
So what I do is shove the compactflash down as hard as I can before plugging it to the DS.  You should hear it click down.  Then I stuffed the exposed plastic at the top with enough plastic to keep the PCB forced down.
After doing this and making sure there is no  "play", I recovered and it has stopped suffering the WSOD since.

I have two supercards; I bought another one because I lost the first one (then found it inside my computer case 2 months later...woops).  No problems for 6+ months.  Bought them from "realhotbuys?" on ioffer.com.
