Mini MIG woes
« on: March 10, 2008, 10:42:45 PM »
I've been called many things in my time...

Add "HEAVY HANDED" to the list.

I was remounting my MiniMIg into it's ITX case and I pressed my inserted MMC card too hard against the case.
The end result is the spring and plastic housing towards the rear of the MMC card slot broke off and  shot out the back due to the force placed upon the springs.

The MMC card slot is still there but it won't read my card.

anyway to fix this? I have been able to de-solder components before, is it possible to order another mmc card slot and resolder it on there.

The unit powers up and it just wont read the card. I had this happen to me initially before I realized the Mini-MIG was super picky with the MMC cards it uses.

HeLp...

Actually transfered all my Minimig files onto a much thicker ULTRAII 2 gb san disk SD card. Suprisingly this works. Thought MMig would only work with MMC cards. I guess the card is thick enough to register all pins.

Will try out the NTSC 60hz firmware version next

I don't see any problem to fix this. Just lookup Dennis parts list. And order it.
Just be careful when desoldering. And photograph anything. So you get correct pinout etc..

Hey Gang years later and after recently tried to use the Minimig with the same card. Now the blue and red power LED's will come on. I get a purple screen, I can reset the unit and the purple screen comes back but no SD card access. Any suggestions?

Is it advisable to solder a new SD card reader. The original SD card reader on the Minimig is long gone on Digikey will any of the push to clikc MMC / SD readers work?

Thanks!
