Hacking White Screens of Death.

Hi,

Well, I need some help here. I think my card is broken. Well I full formated my Fire Card. And when I load the slot 1 it gave me the "error: open xmenu.dat error!". So I tried manually inserting that file into the root directory. I followed some advice here on this forum. I did the hold up+l+r+a+b and got the "USB safe block d12(addr5), and then I clicked on the "nand_all.bat" file but then I get this error "nand_init error". So I can't do anything. my computer doesn't recognize the cart as a USB... nothing. I'm really kinda frustrated as I was hoping to get it running out of the box... I'm about ready to get another card or get my money back. Can someone help me or suggest something I haven't tried yet?

Thanks.

Are you using Windows Vista ?

EDIT: Good News i have tried on my sisters Windows XP Comp and it showed up as the NDS Nandflash device etc etc
I have flashed it with 1.45 and am full formatting it now

As I understand you will have to redo the Firmware-Upgrading Process on Windows XP to fix it :x

Thanks. I actually got it working. I had to use an old busted DS that I had lying around. For some reason when I connected it to that DS the computer recognized it as a USB drive and managed to copy over the xmenu whatever file
