If my Electribe don't see any card - do I assume that is ...

Post by rtofvnt »

... broken ?
Hi.
I have couple of different sd cards. PC through card reader see it, same laptop, but when I slide it into my Electribe 2 nothing happens.
Even when I switch it off, card in, back on again - nothing. I mean I can't see little icon.
Do I need to format it in special way on my PC ?
Thanks in advance

From the user manual:

"Never insert the memory card with the system power turned ON. You may lose data on the system, or in the memory card, or alternatively, you may damage the memory card."

Note also that usable cards are:
SD from 512MB to 2GB
SDHC up to 32GB
SDXC cards are not supported.

If using a supported card, it needs to be formatted in the Electribe.

Thanks voip for reminder.
Actually i found 4 different cards - none of those are not compatible and working with my digital camera, can use those through memory card reader on my PC also I have Korg Krome where I formatted those in this Krome but still when I'm sliding cards into Electribe on power off, I can't see little icon with card :-( .
I''ll try to find someone on FB in my local area who owns Electribe 2 and meet him up with my unit and will test.
Thanks again.

ok ... I found what's going there. If I put my 16gb SDHC type 1 card and push it further using tip of screwdriver forward then my Electribe see card and all data options are available.
Looks like it's mechanically damaged :-|
I'll have o find a way to fix it.
Thanks
