Have you tried cleaning all the contacts on the supercard and minSD card with an eraser?

check and see if its fake. Someone just last week was having problems with his.. turned out it was fake

no it has the battery so it is legit

no it has the battery so it is legit

check the back view.. apparently fake ones with batteries have now started appearing.

But I think it unlikely to be fake and more of a connection problem.

Are you using a passcard or flashme ?

 

[lonster]

flashme v7

so just rub all the contacts with a pencil eraser?

 

[lonster]

i tried rubbing the contacts but still having problems any other ideas?

is the card formatted to FAT?

 

[lonster]

yeah. the supercard wont even read fat 32 .
it just pops up a messege

Not FAT please remove or something like that.

when you restart it again, and it works, do you take out the SC or SD card? Or is it just a restart with the switch?
If ur just restarting with the switch it may be possible that its a device error (or something about worksmanship)

 

[lonster]

i have just been restarting with the switch

my guess is, because it only works sometimes that it is a hardware related issue with your supercard. (or software)
I didnt see you say that you updated the kernel.. Latest version is 1.62 you can find it at http://eng.supercard.cn/download.htm

if that doesnt work, i suggest going to http://scdev.org/forum/ , a much more dedicated community for the supercard. They may be able to help you find a solution
