Hello! I recently bought the EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition (like 3 weeks ago), and the psram and the nor flash work fine. But today suddenly when I started the ez flash, it gave me a warning telling me that there was an error. I restarted and everything worked fine, except for the nor flash. Now when I try to boot using NOR I have a white screen and a weird sound. I run the the test mode in the Ez flash safe mode and both the S71 and S98 are OK. I used the option to "formtar all" but it does not work. PSram loading games do not have any problems. Do you know whats happening? Thanks a lot

I followed the instructions but it didn't work, I still get a white screen. I even tried on my NDS lite

I also have white screens when trying to run from the memory card. No error, and the files work okay from NOR. Here's a video showing the two approaches side by side

Has your device been modified? Could you find an unmodified device to test the card?

I tend to find turning the IPS screen brightness to it's absolute lowest setting usually negates any NOR-flashing problems. Because flashing NOR is pretty power-hungry.

Based on our past experience, operations involving NOR FLASH do indeed consume more power. Therefore, on some modified consoles, especially those with replaced IPS screens or brighter backlight screens, unsuccessful NOR FLASH writing or invalid data writing may occur.

This issue can generally be resolved by reducing the backlight brightness or connecting the charging cable.
