Internal SDCard not working

---

Hello all i have a really strange problem. My Trophy is 1 month old, today it restarted itself alone and gave me the message that my SD Card is not working right and i need to replace it. I hate HTC for not making the slot accesable.
Now it's very complex to use the warranty,because i am from Bulgaria, the phone is bought from Germany, from ebay and on and on ...

Is there a way to test if the problem is the actual SD Card. If i am sure of that i will replace the lame thing on my own. Do someone from you have / had a similar problem ?

Thanks all.

Well, you could remove the SD Card from the phone (as described on the forums) and format the SD Card with a Nokia Symbian phone (E71 or else) and then test the card in a cardreader in your pc.

To be honest; I would just replace the SD Card. It isn't so much work and the cards are relatively cheap. The only other option seems to be trying to claim your warranty - but that might be difficult as you mentioned.

If you are tech savy and confindent, just open it up and drop a new 32 GB card in there yourself. We got plenty of forums posts around here, with how to open it up or even what types of cards to purchase.

If not, even though it may be a pain with the warranty based on what you told us, just send it over to HTC.

I am confident and i know i can do it. It's not a problem to open an replace. I am a little bit concern about the actual problem. If , and it's not something impossible , the card is just dead, this will be good. It's a common thing SD cards to fail. But if i void the warranty and the actual problem is in the mainboard itself, this will be a problem.

Probably only HTC has the ability to run diagnostics and test out if its the SD card or something else... but you will only know once you open it up.

I feel for your decision mate, g'luck.

Have you tried performing a hard Reset?

(Hold both volume buttons and switch the phone on)

I sure did. The first time it helped for about 20 mins. Than the card was gone again. The bootloader is reporting it as a SanDisk 61mb class 0 at the moment.

So i will open the phone, the warranty thing is not going to happen. Way to complicated, sadly.
One thing to ask. Because in the card replacing thread in the forum, after you put the the new card you must hard reset from the phone settings - My phone is hard reseted at the moment but it wont boot without a proper card. So i cannot pass the Error message. Do you thing that this is not going to be a problem, as the phone needs to be set right after that screen? I thing a the new card wont be a problem if it's properly detected ?
