Please help! Not sure if my sp 555 is working correctly

[bmmaguire]

Hello,
I dont think my sp 555 is formating my flash card. I followed the directions in the manual exactly. When I pressed the del button on the sampler the little dot on the led screen just flashed once, not several times. At first I didnt think anything of it untill I tried sample on to bank c. Again I followed the steps in the manual for sampling. I presed sample, and then pressed bank c. None of the pads nor the bank light up. So Is it my compact flash card, or is it the sampler that is bad?

This is the compact flash card that I bought

This is who I bought the sp 555 from

Please help, im thinking that I need to send this sampler back and ask for another one or my money back.
