BCD536HP

[jerry2560]

I have been on and off the website for years but now I need some help. I bought a BCD536HP scanner, and it worked on all I needed at the time but could not pick the Sweetwater Tn. and I found it was DMR. So I updated to DMR but now it says sd card is corrupt I am sure it's it is something I have done, but I can't find a data base for a BCD536HP. I need the whole thing

The database is on this website.

SD cards go bad from time to time. Buy a spare to get back up and running within minutes of discovering a bad one.

as most of you know I have been hunting the data base for BCD536HP I just found out I have been looking for the wrong thing, There should 2 folders at the top on the sd card, but mine is not there. The 2 folders at

 

[jerry2560]

the 2 folders is what I need

 

[RandyKuff]

Are you using sentinel? And do you have any Fav Lists ready to load?

 

[RandyKuff]

If the answer is yes to the 2 questions above...
Do a "Clear User Data" on the card and reload your Fav lists...
Clear user data reloads the basics but not the Fav lists... You have to reload the Fav lists...

If your card is corrupt you may have to reformat it first before doing the above...

 

[jerry2560]

Yes I am using sentinel, I have not got any fav lists yet. I need help if some would copy thier sd card, andl Ican get the folders I can;t do anything.untill I get them I would be willing to pay for it

 

[RandyKuff]

Clear user data should put those folders on the card...
Clear User Data preps the card for use...

Clear User Data is under the "Scanner" tab in sentinel...

 

[jerry2560]

I have done that and it didn;t get the folders back either

 

[RandyKuff]

I'm looking at my scanner now... What folders are not there...

This is what is on mine...

 

[fxdscon]

I have done that and it didn;t get the folders back either

If you are using the "clear user data" function in Sentinel, and the process is completing without error, you may have a corrupted SD card. Are you seeing any error messages when you do that?

The clear used data function puts all the necessary folders and files on the SD card. What is the specific name of the folders you think are missing?

 

[jerry2560]

you have to view sd card in sentinel abd the 2 folders are the first things on the card

 

[jerry2560]

yes it said card is corrupt but I can;t use a new card yet

 

[fxdscon]

yes it said card is corrupet

Reformat the card using this utility...

and use the clear user data after formatting. If that still doesn't work, replace the SD card with a new one.

 

[RandyKuff]

This is what it looks like after "Clear User Data" before loading Fav's etc...

 

[jerry2560]

I have new card comming today. I will try to use then

 

[jerry2560]

my card does not show any of that. All it shows is the data base

Don't forget to use the clear user data function on the new card as well, it won't work in your scanner until you do.

my card does not show any of that. All it shows is the data base

you have to view sd card in sentinel abd the 2 folders are the first things on the card

Look at the SD card in Windows explorer, or any other file viewing program..... you can't see the actual folders/files on the card using Sentinel.

 

[RandyKuff]

This should be the first thing you see when you look at the card before you open the folder... As fxdscon said... Using windows explorer...
