RC2 broke my DR800SG
Hey.. sorry this is kind of long but I wanted to demonstrate that I had sufficiently troubleshot the issue..
My DR800SG has been working fine for months. I have upgraded the firmware a couple of times and was running 2.0 RC2 for several days with no issues and several hours / day of use.
Last night after ejecting my DR800SG from my Windows 7 computer the device display continued to say "Connected".. turning the device off and on again did not resolve the problem even though it was no longer connected to the computer. I reset the device and it displays "No Memory Card Found". I was able to remove the memory card (8GB) and insert it in my computer and it worked fine. I made a backup of the card and copied it to a different 1GB card. Same issue. Next, I loaded the 1GB card with a backup I made when I first received the device. Same issue.
Ok.. so today.. I tried the original 2GB card with the original data.. Same "No Memory Card Found" message I had with the other 2 memory cards.. When I would reset the device it did take quite a while before the message would appear.. I started wondering if it wasn’t a software issue rather than a hardware issue so I copied the system folder from the 0603 firmware (2.0 RC1) onto the original 2GB card.. inserted it in the reader and reset.. it did the standard reset then went through the installing firmware cycle.. Aah Ha! So it can read the card after all.. when the cycle finished now I can use the device again.. I copied the 0603 firmware back on to my 8GB card (the one with all my books on it) and did the whole reset cycle again.. it all worked fine and now the reader is working again..
