is my SM card corrupt?

Post by sleepy eyes »

just finished making a beat unpluged my 303 to move it next to my interface in the other room... plug it in and turn it on, and the 3.0.3. lights that usually blink and then it turns on blinked twice and then just froze. i took out the card and it turns on fine, but put it back in and does the same thing just more cycles of trying to turn on. help pleez! :D

Dpeee got a used 303 a year ago and it turned on a hand full of times and then the same problem you are describing happened to him... He brought it in to get get assessed and the electrician SP fixer guy said it was a power error. You may have fried it when you moved it... Power surged.
Good luck man, sry for the negative news... Hopefully it's just a card issue.

thanks man im just tryin to stay positive about it, at least my 404 still works. But im pretty sure I fried it. When the new memory card comes in ill try it and if it doesn't work still ill just mount the 303 on my wall or open it up and try to fuck with it myself hehe
