SuperCard SD 0b Error

dreamalittledream · February 27, 2007, 01:16:19 PM

I have a SuperCard SD, SuperKey, and a 2GB Sandisk SD card (FAT format) and I'm running the 1.7 firmware and v2.58 patcher. I had just converted a dpg and transfered it over to my SD. Then I placed the SD card back into the SuperCard SD, and now when it boots up it says:

"not find the SD
Please turn off GBA"

I have checked the SD card out and it is use able in other devices, so it's not corrupt. It does seem like when the SD card sits in there, it's a little loose, so maybe the connection is bad. Has anyone else had this problem, and is it actually possible to salvage this SC SD?

EDIT: After many tries of getting the SC to recognize my SD card, I went ahead to run a test. Here's what I got:

Test SRAM - SRAM ok!
Test sdram - sdram ok!
Test flash - flash id ok! flash ok!
Test SD/MMC - SD/MMC error: error code:0b

So I found out that the 0b error means 'Reading Flash Memory Data Error', but I'm a n00b still and don't have a clue what that means. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

I have reformatted my SD card twice already. The SD card can be written/read on my computer and when I put the SD card in my Wii it works just fine.

I finally found, after searching all day long, FifthE1ement said the pins on the PCB weren't touching the card. Although it was for a supercard lite, I'll just open it up and take a peek to see if the pins are the source of the problem.

EDIT: I just opened up the SC SD, noticed how in the hell am I going to push the pins upward since the metal casing is covering them. Anyone willing to find out a solution let me know, otherwise I won't waste my time with this any more, and I guess I'll go try out a slot 1 solution...

I had similar problems with kingston sd card (taiwan) and when I tried a different SD card it worked fine 1st time! Im sure as you said the card isnt at fault but it might be worth trying a diff card mate

Ok...thanks for the tip, only problem is I don't have another SD to test. I would like to know if a MicroSD+SD adapter would work in the SC SD because I would want to test it out, and if it doesn't work, just use the micro in a slot 1 solution. I would just hate to buy another SD card and the SC SD still not work, then have to buy a MicroSD + slot 1 solution.

I had a hell of a time with that error code. My problem was a bent pin on the connector and it wasn't recognizing that there was a SD card present in the SuperCard. You can see my thread about it here:

Thank you so much lopazopy! I did so much searching and almost gave up hope. Once I get off work in the afternoon, I'll see if I can't bridge this bastard. Wow I couldn't say it enough, thank you and really helpful with the pictures you had provided. Now I'll just pray that I won't have to run into any more scares once I fix it tomorrow.

Well, I would just make sure that is your problem before you go soldering and such.

Yeah, its taken me a couple days to really have any time to take a close look at the supercard. Finally, I looked at your pictures very closely to compare to mine, and mine still has all the pins in tact. I made sure all of them lined up the same way, inserted my SD card back into it, and now it works. So I guess I'm just lucky not having to bridge, but will now know for a later time what to look for. Thanks again.
