Hi All,
So after quite some time of getting weird error messages when logging to the SD card ("file not found" errors mostly), I decided it was time to see what was going on. I replaced the old 2GB Sandisk card with a new 4GB Kingston job and for a while, it was great. But then the same problems started to reoccur. The 2GB card started having issues in the PC, hence the purchase of the 4GB job, which has been fine in the PC. SO it was looking like the V2 was playing up.
Given the V2 is way, way out of warranty, I figured it couldn't hurt to take a look. I knew there was a problem as soon as the case was open an a small piece of black plastic fell out. It turns out the SD card socket had cracked down one side and was not holding the card securely. Here's a pic of the remains, I'll admit to breaking the left side when I was getting in past the USB socket, but the right side was how it was before I started...
So now I need to find a new full length SD card socket that will fit the board. Any ideas in Melbourne? The usual shops I go to ( Jaycar, RadioParts, Altronics) either don't stock them, or don't have the contacts in the right place. I've found one on-line shop based in Melbourne, but getting a delivery this side of January is not going to happen. I was even tempted to rat one from one of the USB card readers I have, but they are all 1/2 length jobs. Any one have a definite source for one?
Simon.
