Flash Equipment > EZFA Saver error

#12549 - rand029 - Mon Nov 17, 2003 5:13 pm

I purchased a 256M EZFA cart about 6 months ago. It's worked great until yesterday.

The savegame memory appears to be shorting out.

I can load rom images, development code, whatever and it plays fine, and I can save fine in the first couple minutes. But if the GBA stays on over 5 minutes or so, it does something to the memory.

Any attempt to save results in "save error" and upon reboot, the memory is wiped.

All my regular carts work fine, so it's not the GBA.

Any ideas what causes this or if it can be fixed easily? I'm wondering if the save memory chip has gone bad...

Thanks in advance.

Might be a bad solderjoint or something... Hard to say really..
I guess there is a warranty?
