I recently purchased 2 cards from a computer store in my town. In the past week I bought 5 others and had no problems with them. The last two I bought will only boot up about 1 in 10 times (white screen usually), and then I may get some error messages loading a game. When I am finally able to get into a game successfully, I can soft reset and it will always go back to the menu fine and boot up games fine as well. As soon as I do a hard reset I am back to trying 10 times until the menu will load.

I?ve tried different SD cards ? different sizes and different manufacturers and formatted them every which-way. I?ve reloaded the firmware and roms several times and tried every kind of FW I could find. I brought them back to the computer store where I bought it and got them to open about 10 boxes so I could try other cards ? each one gave me the exact same results. I can?t figure out what the problem can be unless an entire shipment of these cards is defective. Please advise if any of you know anything else I can try.

Thanks

Least common denominator. --> start looking at your NDS

Look at the pins in slot 1 of your NDS. (You will need a flashlight)

Are any of them bent? Do they all look to be about the same "height"?

Have you tried the "paper shim trick"?
