Hey all
I'm trying to get an MPC3000 format a card and it's not recognized, problem is similar to this:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=168702
No card is recognized. The MPC3000 was purchased with Valixi 3.5 and the CF reader installed.
I've tried 3 different 1gb CF cards including a second hand Lexar model which someone on a Gearslutz thread specifically said had worked for them. All cards were inserted when unit was off.
The card reader has a green light on it which turns on if a card is inserted, but have not seen any indication of the card being read from. Always get "No SCSI device was found" when selecting FORMAT A SCSI HARD DISK option.
I opened the MPC up and checked the card connections.... everything "seems" in order and I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the molex connectors. But no luck.
I saw on the other post someone recommended replacing a fuse, not sure which on that is.
Anyone have any recommendations for next steps?
I've noticed pretty much everyone is using SD card readers now for the MPC3000, and I'd be willing to upgrade, but I don't really want to buy one of those if it could be another issue.
Thanks!
