My DP-32 now refuses to recognize ANY inserted SD card. Unit returns a "MBR Error - Init Card" upon startup. When this happens no operation is possible. Removal of the SD card and restart allows access to menu but all attempts to access the card or "Fast" or "Full" format a reinserted SD card returns either the above error or "No Card". Three new, "on the list", SD cards have been tried but all fail in the DP-32. Trying the same SD cards into my DP-24 works as expected. Access of DP-32 in USB mode from PC results in the full ability to access theDP-32 installed SD card as well as the ability to transfer files to and from the SD card. Full disassembly and internal inspection of DP-32 reveals nothing visually out of the ordinary except for some very sloppy soldering on the Main PCB which appears to control most higher level functions of the device including CD drive controller, display, and most likely the SD card interface/reader. Still waiting (starting second week now) for TASCAM Parts to respond; suspect they are swamped as always. Main PCB, part - E90439300B, is listed as "no longer available", so I am not sure what the likelihood is of identifying and breaking something out of TASCAM that will work. Keeping fingers crossed but past experience has revealed it can sometimes be almost impossible for an end-user to buy needed repair parts (2488Neo and countless TEAC R2R repair experiences). I have given up on TASCAM tech support so far as their answer as to potential cause of malfunction is, "send it in"
. As a tech I am not ready for that yet
. That will be my last resort should I decide not to just part out the DP-32 and return to using my 2488Neo or DP-24 as the go-to machine. With all that said, I am wondering if any one else has had a DP-24 or DP-32 that exhibited the same symptoms and, if so, what was your solution to get it back on line? If you sent it back to TASCAM - did they tell you what was actually required to repair it? Thanks!
