Hacking R4DS not working

[pmdroks]

I just got my R4DS and it seem to not work. All I get is the loading screen.

What kind of MicroSD are you using?

Blow inside the microSD slot and make sure all contacts are rid of dust.

 

[Banger]

Did you put the kernel on the MicroSD card and or update the kernel?

 

[pmdroks]

I am using 1GB Sandisk microSD. I tried blowing in microsd slot and the ds slot still not working at all.

 

[pmdroks]

Even when I dont have my microSD in the R4 DS is still say loading. I had 4 other R4 DS and all them worked fine.

 

[Beware]

Did you put the kernel on the microSD?

I am positive this means your R4 is defective.

Get a refund or exchange it for a new one.

When you don't have an SD in the R4, it should say SD/TF card not found. IT only stays on Loading if your Micro SD isn't in all the way.

I bought the R4 DS at consolesource, so I will get a new one from them?

 

[pmdroks]

Anybody know how long does Consolesource respond to a message?

First , Try another microsd card if you can
Second , Try blowing inside the DS the Cart and the MicroSD
Third , Try getting all the files out of the MicroSD and putting them agian
Fourth , Check if you have the kernel files inside , And if they have a fixed size
Fifth , Don't put anything on the microSD , Put it inside the R4DS , open DS , let it open whatever it shows(error probably) , Close the DS , Put kernel folder ONLY on the R4DS AND DONT DELETE ANYTHING!


Thats the best possibiltys I wouldve done if my R4 wouldn't of worked.

 

[pmdroks]

Blah, I try it all. Still dont work.

You said you have 4 R4DS. if so, get one of the ones that works. Take its MicroSD card out, and put it in the one that doesn't work. if it works, you have a defective MicrosSD. format that card and try again. If it still doesn't work w/ that other microsd card, something is wrong w/ the R4. You can try to open it, look for anything wrong. maybe the spring is stuck, making it think the microsd is stuck. I'd just ask for a refund.

 

[pmdroks]

I'm trying to exchange my R4 DS for a new one, but Consolesource has yet respond to my e-mail.

 

[DarkAura]

Get a new R4, yours is busted, it seems.

 

[pmdroks]

What the purpose of the ticket on consolesource? It been over 48 hours and I havent got response yet.

Open the cart and make sure no components are loose and/or badly soldered.
