Hacking Problem with USB acknowledging my N-Card

[rcommee]

I have Windows Vista 32 Home Premium
I have a 1.44 firmware
I have a slot-2 usb reader. (cord from ds to pc)

I have had connection problems off and for months. Sometimes it takes a computer restart, sometimes it takes a few.

I was wondering if there was some way I could force the USB to recognize my N-Card?


Also I read to never use your N-Card with a MAC, and to never update it with Windows.

So my question is, how do I update my card without Windows or MAC?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. =D

its 'not recommented' to update it with Windows Vista =/ the card was kinda desingned for XP, so getting it work on other systems is hard...

@Update, As I heard, there is a update way without using a computer, but since Ive traded my N-Card for a DSTT [

hell, DSTT sux, the hype it got was without any reason...] I cant say anything about it >.

Cool. And as for the USB issue?

(Yes, I have tried restarting, unplugging and plugging everything in and out. Have made sure everything is secure.)

What is holding my N-Card back from syncing with my PC?

Hm, are there any other PCs you can test the card =$ ? The card should be recognized w/o problems...
Also, test it wiith another cable... (The cable I got with the N-Card stopped to work after 2weeks ^^" ) (That cable is used with every second MP3-Player/Digicam ... you hopefully have another one to test)
And if notghing helps, clean the contacts of the gba linker...

I CAN test it on another PC, not for a few days, though.

I have used other cables, it's not the cable.

I've also tried pressing the GBA card in really hard, no success.

Cleaning it, though! There's an idea I haven't tried yet. What's the best way to clean them? Q-tip and alcohol?
