Sudden “Please insert SD card” on boot-up

On 1.9, running fine at lunchtime. Turn on the tracker this evening and the screen displays a “Please insert SD card” message and doesn’t go any further. Nothing’s changed since the last time it worked fine.
Searched the forums and found a thread for the play about cards getting corrupted snd some advice for formatting. Anyone had this on the tracker?

Strange, took the card out, checked it was the original 16gb that came with the tracker. Turned the unit on, screen flashed, logo came up (that wasn’t happening with the error before). Then the “Please insert SD card” message came up for two seconds before boot-up continued as normal.

It’s the original card that came with the unit but does have the 1.9 and a backup OS in the root folder.
Love the tracker though, no need to move :slight_smile:

That is strange indeed. For safety’s sake - make sure to backup your projects! :heart:

Check the contacts on the sd card for dirt or deep scratches maybe? SD cards are sadly fickle little beasts.

Been fine ever since, started a different tune and tracker seems much happier. Everyone’s a critic.
