    Hi there Stressed Out Dad, and Happy New Year!

    If you bought your son an R4v2 card (the original), it only accepts up to 2GB Micro-SD cards. If you've bought the R4v3-Upgrade (should say "Upgrade" on the card itself) or the R4-SDHC (should have an SDHC logo on the card itself), it can support at least up to 8GB Micro-SDHC cards.

    This is hopefully the problem. The good news is that nothing is wrong; the bad news is that you probably can't use the 4GB Micro-SDHC card. :)

    All the best!

    Actually LondonGam, r4v3 and R4sdhc can support 16 and 32gb as well. They both work great. Not bad for a clone.

    Ah, thanks for the confirmation linkaegar! The problem, of course, is whether or not we call the R4v3 and R4-SDHC clones. After all, they don't do the same thing, and are effectively superior products! It would be the equivalent of calling a Dell with more RAM a clone of an Acer... :p
