"Still" loosing the CF card. Any other ideas?

[blaney0426]

I read the posted link below in the hopes that it would solve my "disappearing CF card" problem. My new x51v sees the Lexar 1GB SD card just fine; but the Lexar 512MB CF card has only been "seen" one time by the x51v, and I'm not sure what the circumstances were that allowed that to happen

As this post suggests...I just got a brand new x51v and it can't "find" the CF card that is installed. I know it at least knows the CF card is there because when I pull out both the SD and CF cards from the unit (when it is off), and re-install just the CF card, the unit turns on (like saying, "Oh, hello." ) But it still doesn't see the CF card.

I'm going to keep looking through postings on people's ideas, but I'm at a loss. Can someone help?

Yes, do the 'fake server' trick listed as a sticky note on this site. It solved my CF loss 100%, and has been that way for over 4 weeks now.

Also try to remove the card, do a soft reset, then put the card back in. This is what I had to do to mine. Good luck!

I did the "fake" server thing...twice. But no dice. The posting says "follow EXACTLY" and I believe I did that. I'll try the soft reset with the card out as discribed above.

I may do a hard reset and try to follow the "fake" server one last time. I'm not brilliant, but the instructions for how to do the fake server seem easy enough to follow. :-) Thanks for the reply.

That worked.
Thanks
