Not to offend you zector, but please, if someone knows how I can fix this thing, please speak up; whether your meathod of fixing it involves pushing on the cart, opening it up, or flushing it down the toilet. (although, if you tell me to try the third one, I'll ask you if you're sure and how I will get it back. :lol: )

Well, actually, somebody over at GBATemp said that freezing the card worked for them for a short time. Something having to do with the contacts expanding or otherwise when frozen. So, if you do not want to refund, I guess freeze away! :lol:

I don't think I want to try it even with the post I made earlier. It's risky and wouldn't even solve the problem, who wants to freeze there flash card each time they want to play a game?

But if it's the contacts causing the problem, could I possibly replace the contacts... without any soldering skills?

Hi, cannot remember, are you not able to return yours for a replacement?

Hi · January 26, 2007, 04:41:13 PM

I said that I couldn't...

but I sort of lied... :oops:

er... sorry about that.

Atleast I'm admitting it.

I bought the card from supercardstore, as there was nothing bad said about them (Nothing good either) and they were selling the cards at the cheepest price when you included shipping. (They have free shipping.)

I have nothing bad to say about them though. Shipping was UNDER A WEEK!!! Now, when shipping is under a week, and shipping is free, and it's over sea, well, it's something to be impressed with.

The problem was, I didn't want to have to return my card. It says on the site that you have to pay return shipping, and I didn't want to pay to send my scdsone over sea. So I made a post. It was simpler to say I couldn't return the card then to say that I didn't want to, so I told a white lie.

I DID end up returning the card though, and it was a pleasent suprise.

First, I returned the card because nobody had posted here for a while so I gave up hope. (davedl, I litterally watched the mailman take my scds from my mailbox, went upstairs to my computer, went to scdev, and THEN saw you post)

Second, they have a florida office, so I only had to send my card to florida (I live in N.J.)

Third they replied to my E-mails very fast.

I'm not trying to write a revew, I just don't want anyone to get the wrong Idea about the store.

Anyway, point is, I LIED!
