Game Over !
Posted: Wed May 29, 2019 8:05 am
Hi all ! Help !
I believe that my Tetroid card for CF chips is dead ; it was sometimes momentarily "sick" over the last month, but now, it absolutely refuses to boot ; typical boot message :
but sometimes it also said :
or :
or :
To be noted : anyway, the line should instead say :
meaning that actually, no CF chip is seen by the card.
I have two QLs, both working perfectly (also with a Sandy SuperQboard). The malfunction of the Tetroid card first erratic is now permanent with both machines and with any of the four CF chips that I partitionned and used successfully (one 8Gb, one 1Gb and two 512Mb).
With the Habi disc image editor, I checked that all four CF chips are OK and their contents were not altered.
So, I suspect that the problem "might eventually" be a faulty soldering of the plug for the CF chips on the Tetroid circuit board ?
Do you think this could be repaired, or should I buy a new card ?
Thanks beforehand for your answers !
