What version of the firmware are you using?

Is your card real or fake? To help you determine, see: http://www.ndstt.com/en/anti_fake.html

What happens if you turn on your NDS with the DSTT inserted but without any microSD card in it?

well 1st i have checked it and yes its real and 2ndly wen it has no sd card in it has a blue card displayed saying no card and last of all i dont kno what firmware i have i just downloaded it from this site

 

[gail-amanda]

iv just put the sd card into the reader and into the pc and it says the card needs formatting then a said yes to format now than it sadi that it was unable to complete format what is going on x

OK, it sounds like your microSD card may be corrupted. Try to use the Panasonic formatter to format the card.

If that doesn't work, it's possible that your card reader isn't working (the ones that come with the DSTT are notoriously crappy), so you may want to try it with a different card reader if you have one.

If that doesn't work, try formatting it in a cell phone, camera, or other device.

were do i get the panasonic formatter from, how do i format my card in my phone
i tried my other card reader and the pc is not picking it up so must be broken too
thanks for your advice x

from this link or just search for panasonic sd card formatter

If your PC isn't seeing it with either card reader, then it's not likely you'll be able to format it using the Panasonic formatter, but try it anyway.

Reformatting the microSD on your phone or camera depends on the phone or camera you're using. It should have an option to delete everything from the microSD card or to format the microSD card.

You didn't mention what type of microSD card you have, but if it's a Kingston it has a lifetime warranty, and they'll replace it.

no its a sandisc it is picking the card up on the windows but it just wont format it it just says unable to format device ?? ill try the panasonic one thanks x

usually means windows is actually seeing the usb adapter and not the microsd card. i have ressurected microsd's that would not read in any pc by formatting them with my TREO cell phone and then formatting in a pc. try it out and see if it works. nothing to lose really.

 

[gail-amanda]

i would but i dont have a treo phone and i dont think we have that make over here the card does not fit my mobile either guess ill just get a new card its a bit of a pain tho iv only had this one 2 weeks thanks everyone x

First try the Panasonic formatter.

If that doesn't work, you need to find someone with a cell phone or camera that can take a microSD card and reformat it in that device.

If it's a Kingston, you can return it to them and they'll replace it (Kingston's have a lifetime warranty).
