Hxc has stopped reading sdcard.

Post by david_ellwood »

My hxc has stopped working, the sd card isn’t seen.

The sd card has worked in my hxc for years and still reads and writes in my pc.

The display and switches are all ok, but it doesn’t see or read the card.

The sd slot has continuity across the card insertion switch when the card is in and is open when it isn’t.

Any advice ?

Please check the machine power supply 5V voltage. One possible cause is that the power supply voltage is going above ~5.5V. If so please service the machine power supply as soon as possible.

This is very likely the issue , what components on the hxc are likely to have been effected?

Well , as instructed I trimmed the supply voltage down and it’s started working again. Thanks very much!

I strongly recommend you to replace the power supply capacitors, they are probably at their end of life.
