Hey guys,
I got my supercard SD 3 months ago, and have been using it with my DS. It was working fine until a few weeks ago when I started getting an "SD not found, please turn off GBA" and lately im getting more and more random freezes and SD errors. Has anyone had this problem before, any advice or solution?
Im using a Silver Nintendo DS,Supercard SD , Flashme v6, FW 1.60.

Thats the exact SD card im using^.
If anyone can help me in any way id greatly appriciate it.

There's a chance either the SD or the SC is on the way out. Try the SD in another SC if possible and try reformatting the SD card.

I have the same problem with my supercard (buy at around 8months ago, but only use after january because after my friend flashme-ed my NDS.) :)  And It always occur SD not find or hang when playing any games (randomly) in past two weeks.

And my solution is:
Add a lapped small paper (lap and lap until with 1mm thickness).   Use a little tape to paste it in the surface of the chip call "LATTICE" (you should open the supercard and you can find the chip in the back side of PCB).

After screw back the supercard.  you can see the left hand side of the PCB is rise up a little bit.  But it is ok to put it into the GBA slot of your NDS.

After that, my Supercard is worked very well in the last several days.  Hope this solution also work with your case.  :)   Pls let me know your status in here.

I solved this issue a while ago. The SD just needs a little push inwards. You can achieve this by padding the end of the SD card with a but of sticky tape and paper.

thanks for all the help guys, before opening up my SC , tried leaving 2mm of the left of my SC out, that seemed to do the trick, Im not getting the SD error, but If I do get it again, Im doing goldeneye's method.

Hey,guys. About this problem, I have a quite different solution, yet simpler one.U might try put your SD card into a card reader and browse it a bit.Then put it back in the Supercard.Works fine for me.Well, at least just try this be4 unscrewing ur supercard.better safe than sorry,rite.
Hope this works for u guys too.

I had the same prob when i brought mine & just done what acky done(push the supercard to the right,so the left corner is very slightly out more than the right), never had a prob since  :D .
