Freezes when fully charged and scrambles storage card

[Guest Slohr]

Hi,

Anybody else experiencing their SPV ending up “dead” when it reaches its fully charged state?

It happens like 1 in 3 times for me, and there’s nothing to do but remove the battery for a while!

I could live with this, since the major problem here, is that I can’t be reached in the morning, until I’m actually up and have rebooted my SPV :D

BUT now this behaviour (I'm guessing that this is the reason) has totally FUBAR’ed my storage card:

and there’s no way of cleaning it up since no action can be done on the files due to illegal characters:

Does anybody know how to erase/format a storage card?

TIA

I don't know about formatting but

if you delete stuff or have the files corrupted

try using Final Data, it's a recovery program that recovers all files

even deleted ones on the sd,mmc and any other type of drive cards.

You do need a card reader though,

I have just done a test and recovered all files on an mmc card I had.

I used to use it with my digital camera as well.

I downloaded the program from Tucows but some pc mags were giving a cutdown version away a few months back.
