Hey Guys
I've just finally found my first problem with my flashcard. My M3 DS Real has now been experiencing freezing (during games,and OS menu even before booting the firmware). I've gone through the checklist of solutions and I came to conclude that is my M3 DS Real Flashcard.
I was wondering does anyone else have this problem? I believe it has something to do with the contacts that read the microSD but I'm not sure. It maybe a bad card that freezes at random.. so I'm not exactly sure.
Wondering if anyone else has this problem as well?
Checklist:
Update Firmware
Tried a couple of different MicroSD cards
Tested my microSD,firmware and roms on other flashcard and another DS and it worked.
So its a flashcard problem.
Any help would do.
I'm assuming maybe a bad soldering job or something.
Let me know guys
Jimmy
Update:
Extra Info:
- I don't use the card reader that came with the M3 DS Real (highly doubt it will ruin my card though they just break after a period of use)
- Roms are good they work on other flashcards I own including another M3 DS Real
- Formatting has been done to death with 4 brands of microSD and microSDHC
I really feel that it might be a contact problem. Not a contact problem for my DS but the microSD contact problem.
I simulate the freeze by pulling out the microSD during play and its exact same thing.
What I feel that is really odd is that the flashcard will work for a few minutes and not work until you rest it for a few minutes later.
Its always like this so I'm assuming that once the card is heated to a temperature it will fail. Not sure if its a contact problem or a problem with the circuits. I'm thinking of re-soldering the microSD slot again but want to know more about the problem.
Thanks for posting.
