Fixing Memory Card Problems
If a Memory Card “checksum error” occurs, your Memory Card
has been corrupted in some way. It is possible that there is no
loss of data. Memory Cards can be corrupted by static electricity,
shock, a loose battery, older siblings, a weak battery, incorrect
insertion into the DSP7000, use in some other computer, or myriad other causes. As a result, a Memory
Card “checksum error” should not
immediately
send your heart into your mouth (although an internal check-
sum error probably should). Regardless of whether you are concerned about a Memory Card “checksum
error” or not, you should “fix” the checksum.
Go to the
service
menu page in the
SETUP
area.
Highlight
fix card
and press the
SELECT
key. Press the
<yes>
SOFT KEY
to force the new checksum result to be saved. If data
is in fact corrupted, this will not fix it. Press the
<no>
SOFT KEY
to abort.
If you are worried about the contents of the Memory Card, you
should either dump the contents of the Memory Card to an ex-
ternal storage device
( see
Dumping Data and Receiving Data Dumps
on
page 65)
OR copy all valuable internal programs and setups to a
different Memory Card, copy the faulty Memory Card’s programs
and setups to internal memory and then to another Memory Card (
see
Copying Programs
on page 56 ).
Finally, return to the
service
menu page in the
SETUP
area.
Highlight
format card
and press the
SELECT
key. Pressing the
<yes>
SOFT KEY
will erase the contents of the Memory Card
and reformat it. Press the
<no>
SOFT KEY
to abort.
You might also put a label on the card (using adhesive tape,
indelible marker, etc.) indicating that a problem occurred along with the date. Keep track of this kind of
problem and make multiple backup copies. Have you been introduced to Mr. Murphy? He’s got this law
that says. . .
