APM2 boot problems continue. DOA?

Hi all

Still having problems with my APM2. Will not boot with SD card in place (even when you do a manual reset after power applied). I just updated the firmware to 2.5.4. Please look at video:

It is either the SD card itself or the card slot. When it does boot with the card pulled back 1 mm and I go to retrieve the logs it indicates no SD card found.

The board works great without the SD card and I have now logged 10 flights but am unable to review any logs.

Any ideas on what I can try?

Is my card DOA?

 Just purchased from our Canadian distributor.

  • I had this problem with APM2 dataflash,  fail to boot or no data flash detected. wiggleing card could get it to work but not for long.

    The Card slot is not making good contact with the card fingers.  I put a small piece of electrical tape on  the top of the flash card and eased it into the slot  to give more pressure on the contacts  and have not had any more problems
