Smc Not Working

[feddon]

Ive suddenly run into a very strange error with my crds. 2 of my three cards have suddenly stopped working, when i try to boot them up i get a white screen (instead of pacrom), not the SMC not found screen though, i have tryed formatting using pc-link but i get an error and on my gp32 it reads "get smc size". i tryed then formatting using my card reader, that worked and i can transfer files to the cards using windows no problem but they still wont read in my gp. The strange thing is that ive had no problems for a year, there is no reason for them to stop working and that my third card still works fine.

Im seriously stumped, and nothing ive found searching sounds similar.

Any help would be hugly appreciated

thanks in advance! (sorry should be in I need help section...)

Did you format the card with your card reader before this error happened?

Simply format it with PC-Link or GP Manager, it should work because you already formated it with Windows (the proof the smc isn't corrup anymore).

try loading slubmans firmware off a good card, then put in the other card and format it.
Should work, it worked for me

I thought of that but I didn't make attention you had at least 2 smc's.
And yes formating with Slubman's firmware is the best thing to do with corrupt smc's.
