Download SDFORMATTER and format the SD card with that before you reload the data to it from ezscan.

I've done that 4 times, used the "Prepare scanner for use" format option too. It seems it does this whenever I do a library update. Should I uncheck the Quick format option?

Take the battery's out for about 5 minutes and unplug it. Then do the reformat and prepare scanner for use. Reload the card. That is what usually fixes it for me.

Sometimes I get it to work in a reader and no format. That gets around the ifs, and & buts in the OS.

Peridically I have that issue with my 800. It happens when I remove the SDCard to my external card reader to update the card with EZScan. What I have found is that for some strange reason if I remove the SDCard from the radio (powered off) but leave the AC power applied, update the card and reinsert the card in the radio, the radio will not initialize. So now, I unplug AC power, remove one battery, update the card, reinsert it then put the battery back and AC power and no issue.

This week for the first time, I had to reformat the card to get it to work. Previously just removing power worked.

BTW you only have to remove power for a few seconds, not 5 minutes as suggested by another poster.

This scanner is powered with AC, with no batteries in it. Gonna try it just with SD Formatter first

going on the 5th time, I've used SD formatter then the Prepare card for use, then just SD formatter, Prepare SD card for use. I've used 2 different card readers. It's getting to be ridiculous that I have to do this **** this many times and it still doesn't work.

Just updated my 436, so it's not the computer or card reader, something involving my 800

Try reloading the last firmware and DSP release that GRE released.

Done with it for tonight. It seems as if there's something in my one of my Vscanner folders that isn't allowing it to copy

Try reloading the last firmware and DSP release that GRE released.

Don't think I can having a SD card thats corrupted

Well, finally got the SD card issue fixed.I don't use batteries in it , just AC, now i can't get it to power on, it just stays on the time screen

 

[adcockfred]

Yeah, now your making me look dumb, if I had more smarts I know I could fix that clock issue on my 436.

Opened it up , and one of the black box looking things, snapped off from the solders, so now it's useless
