[QUOTE="casper the anemone, post: 53939, member: 9430"] Hi there Nikonites I need some input rather than help, I've had the CHA and other card errors for a year or two. Firstly I thought it was a corrupt CF card from connecting to XP based PC and then not disconnecting a Card Reader properly in XP after that didn't work. But have since tried a new card and a sd to CF adapter, still resulting in occasional errors. Anyway... I have read it can be a power based issue, i.e. dirty battery contacts, cold weather and so on. Or the CF terminals aren't clean (there is a cleaner you can buy that is shaped like a card). Anyway so I was doing a clean/inspection when away this easter, I noticed a slightly bent pin and straightened it successfully. But then noticed [B]that there is an entirely missing pin top right [/B][U]top right. [/U]That looks to have snapped off, near the base, there is less than a mil exposed if at all. [url=http://pinouts.ru/Memory/CompactFlash_pinout.shtml#Ground]CompactFlash (CF) bus connector pinout and wiring @ pinouts.ru[/url] So looking into the chamber it is the top right pin, thus judging by that link there, it is either Ground or CD1 or CD2 ( I can't orientate myself there ). Anyway my query is, what is going on if this pin is broken to make the card temperamental? Do you know any technicals about CF cards but mainly... [I]how could I get this fixed[/I] + would it be expensive? Note: the D70 is coming up on its' 30,000th shutter release soon. ~Sam (in Australia) p.s. Using [url=http://pcinspector.de/SmartRecovery/info.htm?]PC Inspector - kostenlose Software fr die Datenrettung von CONVAR - Die Datenretter.[/url] I have flawlessly recovered any photos i've ever lost because of this, but it is a qualm and hastle i'd gladly be without.
