    Hello All,
    I just purchased an R4i Revolution Upgrade card in a red box with I Firmware 1.4 compatible sticker. The URL on the box is www.r4i-sdhc.com. My card was working fine and playing games for a about a week. A few nights ago I hit the Wi-Fi option and it started downloading kernel updates. When I turned the DSI back it said "Fake Card-Return to Retailer" I re-downloaded the latest update which was R4i V. 1.20b - Now I just get a white blank screen. I've formatted the SD card several times to try several different software options. I've directly downloaded software from the website where I had bought the card from. I've formatted the Dsi Memory twice, I've updated to 1.4 DSi firmware as well. Could this be a and SD card issue? I have a Kingston 2 GB.
    I bought the actual R4i from this website: www.r4-ds-card.com - Has anyone purchased from them here? Thanks for your time and I'd appreciate any advice...
    Thanks,

    sounds like your ds is updated to high for the r4 to work. I personally use acekard. Had alot of issues with r4s. Invalid date problems and the card not booting. Sell it and get an Acekard.

    Thanks, everyone! I've mailed the card back to the company and plan on getting the Acekard.
