SD Card reader not working?

When I turn on the Micro BR, it turns on normally, but then it flashes a message saying "NO CARD!" when there is one in it. I've used that SD card before, and have tried others that have been properly formatted/ cleared. I assume it has something to do with the SD card reader, as everything else seems to work fine..Except for the fact that I cant really do much with it (record or view my old unfinished recording that was on the SD card)

Make sure that the SD slot is not dirty, check inside with a light and you may want to blow it out.

SOURCE: "Card Full" error when the card is in fact empty...

I had the same issue, and ended up solving it after trying many different things. So first you put the card in your reader, right click, and hit "format...". It should ask you if it's ok to erase everything. Say yes.

Then put the card in the recorder, and it should say "Unformatted". Hit Utility and TR4 to Initialize. That should do the trick. Hope that helps!

SOURCE: Micro Br says no card

Inspect the card connector for BROKEN off pins or damage to the connector where the card goes. Not sure what type card this takes, but pins that get pushed back in on CF cards are NOT that uncommon, especially if card has had an attempt to put in backwards.

Beyond that I am afraid the cause would be unknown.

You MIGHT try formatting a new card... If it won't go, something in the interface has gone bad.

SOURCE: I think my Micro BR is broken

Mine is doing the same thing- with a Scandisc card- plus, the unit has never been used.

Chances are you need a driver in your PC compatible with Vista. There are MANY compatibility problems with Vista and special devices such as the Micro Br.

SOURCE: i can not download off

Moost of these will only use a max card of 2Gb. There are some conversion programs. There was a lot of discussion at one time on Vsplanet dot com about these units if the site is still active.

A very important thing when using these recording devices is to PROPERLY close the media. I would not panic at this point. Search for a forum regarding the Boss Micro BR and ask there as somebody may be able to help you recover the data. Read up on your manual about shutdown. I have Tascam recorders and I prefer to stop the recording and then when it is done I turn power off before removing the media. You may have to use a special procedure when introducing the nearly full card... even forcing it to load.

I downloaded a song on my laptop, saved it to my sd card, put the card in the mirco br, but it doesnt show up??

It is in different format. You must go through a format convertor to make it compatible. Use Google to find Micro BR format convertors.

Message says "Card Full"

The sound file has used all available space on the memory card. Either put in a different card or purge the sound file(s) on the card so you can record new files.

Just bought Kingston 2GB SD Card for Boss Micro BR but when maching turned on,its frozen on KEEP POWER ON! SONG LOADING!

This is likely a compatibility issue. Turn power off and remove the card and make sure the unit comes back to life.

SD card compatibility can be a problem.

You might want to go to VSPLANET.com as there is a lot of info on forums about recorders.

The memory card says unformatted card

Refer to your BR manual for procedure to format the card. Formatting the card in a PC just doesn't cut it.

Look in your index in the manual for "formatting" or "card"...etc.

I think my Micro BR is broken

It is either that you put an incompatible SD card in it. (Believe it or not, many devices will not work with certain SD cards), or the card reader has failed. Try a Scandisk SD card or other popular brand and see if there is any difference in the messages. Otherwise I would say the card reader is faulty.
