    My R4 has recently ceased to work due to unkown circumstances. One day I was playing my Ds and i decided I wanted to get a new game. Unfortunatly your servers were swamped so I went to another site to download the game. After downloading it and putting the card in my Ds the game screen said loading in white letters same as always but it just didnt load. The screen sits black but it dosnt freeze the ds because it still enters sleep mode when i close it. I have formatted my card thingy and still nothing happend. Can sombody help me out? I had originally used the newest ysmenu dat. but then i erased everything when i formatted and am back to the normal menu if that helps you at all.

    How often do they die and do you know the causes?

    don't know if anyone can answer that, but i've heard of a couple of them dying on people

    the best thing to do is buy a good brand, Sandisk, Transcend

    Dunno how often it happens,but MicroSD's die when they have been read/write a certain number of time.
    I think its after a few thousand (Not sure)

    That happened to me also, it wasn`t the microsd because I have a few different R4 cards that I tried it in.
    I guess the R4 just died?
    Dam I`m out $5

    Get a decent card and that won't happen.
