    I have a R4i v1.4.1 with 2 GB micro SD card.I updated to the latest kernel R4i V1.46b.
    Everything was working fine over the weekend.When I went to switch on the message that came up was "There is no card inserted in the DS Game Card slot".
    How do I get this to work again?

    Back up everything and then format.
    After that place all your files back

    Stick a slip of paper or cardboard in the slot to push the contacts closer together.

    Remember this tip, Jonez, it's a common problem.

    Ask CoolKill3r or the people in that thread. They are experts. I don't have a R4 to test out that firmwire.

    This is exactly the same problem I have. It was working fine and now suddenly no card is inserted in the DS Game Card slot.
