Earlier today, my supercard became incapable of loading data off of the card.
All I get is slow loading of any ROM and then two white screens.
I have formatted my CF card to make sure that the issue was not with my card, but I still get the white-screen-of-doom.
I booted the SC into SRAM test mode and the initial test passes, but afterwards I get the following on the screen:

sdram error
010181020282030383040484050585
0606860707870909890b0b8b0d0d8d
0e0e8e0f0f8f101090111191131393
1414941515951616961717975555d5

Additionally, I downloaded the latest firmware update (again) and was going to attempt to flash the SC in order see if that would reset the sdram, however when the flasher loads, rather than a version number for the new version, it displays a Kanji character and the file does not pass the data verification check.

I have sent this information in an e-mail to szsale@163.com (the support e-mail address listed on the SC site) but was curious if anyone has had this issue (or something similar to it) and knows how to fix it?

Additionally, I bought this SC from kicktrading.ca in September (if I recall correctly) - if my SC is bad, can I get a new one through the Supercard folks or do I have to go through kicktrading?

I wanna play more Animal Crossing!

Eww...I really don't know man. As far as that error is looking to me is that there is something wrong with the SC's internal memory. Did you ever successfully pass all of the tests previously? I own a few SC's, and always run the self check as soon as the card arrives to ensure it is in proper working order.

Kicktrading is a very nice company. I had sudden errors, and a SC without DS compatability, and they replaced it.

Fast too, since their company is like a 30 min drive away, so fast shipping.

I own only one SC...and this one has been working fine since I got it months ago...only today after taking AC out of sleep mode, it locked up and now I get this stuff...

Well, good to know that if this is a dead SC issue, Kicktrading should be willing to replace it, though it'll take longer for me, as I live in Mississippi.

Cool dude, I live in Mississippi too!    I've had my SC for a few months too. Mine had the same sdram error last week. Everytime I loaded up a game it would go to two white screens. I took out my SC and got the dust off of it and put it back in, and now I haven't had the error since.

Heh. Oxford, MS / Olive Branch, MS here [on the 8 year plan at Ole Miss myself].

...just tried cleaning out the card with rubbing alcohol and no such luck...

I really don't wanna deal with the hassle of international shipping if I can help it...
