microSD reader faulty

Technical Support
1

Hello
I’ve been running my shake for a year or two now. Lately, someone turned the unit off (for electrical socket testing), and i think the microSD card was damaged.

I have followed the instructions on re-installing with a new card; including various threads on this forum.

However, at no stage do I see a green LED. Even after 20-30 minutes; just solid blue and solid red.

My working assumption is the microSD reader on the Pi maybe damaged.

What are my choices? I have a couple of Pi 3 Model B (v1.2) - could I swap the microSD reader off one of those onto the Shake Pi? Or better to return the unit to you?

Thanks for all help,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Can you send us a photo of your microSD card if possible?

No worries; fixed it!

I swapped the whole motherboard for a spare R Pi 3 Model B (v1.2) I had spare; now I’m back online AM.R72C7.

Thanks,
Dave
