have you tried EJECT-INSERT-EJECT-INSERT?

if it didnt work, re-flash it. if itdoesnt show up, it's dead

 

[rockstar99]

ive reflashed it 7 times and even tried the insert thing

 

[Chris_Skylock]

it's dead alright. Im curious how long is it in your possession.

Hmmm...seeing you have more than 1000 posts, I could say, it's a year r so.

 

[rockstar99]

its been
6 months

 

[Leonidas]

It died after only 6 months of usage? Thats not good at all.

Acekard 2 does have a 1-year warranty, so you can still try to replace it via the acekard team.

 

[rockstar99]

ill try but if it cant i still have my m3i

 

[Langin]

hmm youll need it both I think! so try to contact team acekard and get an new one!

Have you tried the tape fix? Put 1-3 layers of tape on the bottom of the label side of the cart to make better contact. I have to do this for my AKRPGs and EZV in order for them to show up.

 

[rockstar99]

can you explain a bit more???

 

[Fluto]

Get the new acekard 2i
has no bump (window) on the cart

 

[rockstar99]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!
THE TAPE THING MADE IT SHOW UP!!!!
I USED 4 LAYERS OF TAPE AND THE PAPER TRICK BLOWED ON IT AND REFLASHED IT AGAIN AND IT SHOWED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!
I LOVE GBATEMP MEMBERS
I LOVE YOU CRACKER!
YOU SAVED MY BELOVED AK!!!

How often do you remmove your acekard? it could be possible your slot 1 case is damaged or vice versa. But if it doesnt bother you, good for you.

 

[rockstar99]

never i just take the sd out through the spring

 

[Chris_Skylock]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll monitor our acekard here since it has not passed 6 months since purchased. last one was in May, I think.

Thank you for sending us your troubles. It will help us in advance.

 

[rockstar99]

OMG MY ACEKARD IS WORKING
*STARTS TAP DANCING*

Sure is.

This topic is really scary. I never even thought of flashcarts having contact problems. I hope it never happens with my ak2i. Love this cart.

 

[rockstar99]
