OK, don't bother buying additional 20MB PCMCIA cards. I can confirm, that a 512MB CF Card with a PCMCIA CF Adapter is working nicely with my MT8802A. CF Card handling is definitly more convinient. Did the MT8802A was functioning when you obtained it, or did you get it already faulty? I would check if nothing important is missing inside eg. a board? Try to: - Check on missing parts, boards etc. - Reseat all boards, check for visible defects - Probably do the Howardlong way and replace all caps. Start with the PSU and progress board by board. Be sure to check functionality (new behavior or messages on the screen in your case) after each board cap replacement. - check the lithium battery voltage on one of the boards It could be also that you experience a hardware/software mismatch. It's just a guess! It could be that Howardlong's image is not compatible with your hardware revision. To confirm this would take more effort and experience from all MT8802A owners here collecting this information. I was lucky, that Howardlongs version worked nicely with the first try. I still have my faulty 20 MB PCMCIA card, which was originally in the device. I googled some time ago a chinese user forum where somebody had the same problem with a dying PCMCIA card. He purchased the exactly same Sandisk card and transplanted the memory chip from the old to the new card and was able to access the data again. I am planning to do the same task but lacking time to do this at the moment. |

Thank you @Monolith for your information and good advice. I think I am going to take your advice and methodically recap the unit in hopes that it is an issue based on that. There were a few caps that I checked that were out of spec, so maybe I'll get lucky. Battery is good and I tried reseating all cards and connectors. If the recapping doesn't work, I might get brave and dissect the old PCMCIA card and try a transplant of the memory to a new card. I the meantime, if there is anyone out there who happens to have a digital copy of the service manual, I would greatly appreciate it. ScottK |
