Title: Dead MK2
Post by: seffyroff on March 14, 2006, 02:45:21 AM

Hello,

It seems that my MK2 is possibly dead?  I had it working for a week, successfully booted games from it, now if I switch the DS on with the MK2 plugged in(and any DS game in the DS slot of the MK2), I just get 2 white screens. No booting.  I think the last game I attempted to play on it was SCUMMVM.  I've tried reflashing Flashme V6 but it made no difference.

Any ideas please?

How are you attemping to play the games? from the menu or straight from flashcart using MK2 as a passme? If you were able to run the flashme installer then your MK2 is definately not dead.

Scratch that, I had my gba flash carts mixed up (i have 2 identical carts and 1 had the Neo menu on it, and another had some HB i was working on)

I'm in the menu again, but now it is refusing to read my SD card.  I get 'error initializing' every time i try to detect now.  It has worked successfully in the past.

The SD card i'm using is a SanDisk UltraII 512MB.

Fixed it.

Unplugging and replugging the DS cart actually made it read the SD card.  This seems to fix it every time.  Seems a bit flaky :/

Thanks for the help guys!

Cleaning all the connections (the gold fingers) on the mk2 could possibly help as well (using q-tip and small amount of isopropyl alcohol).  Glad it's working again...
