Replacing the CF card normally helps.

hi Torsten

, can i buy normal CF card (for example 2GB CF sandisk) and replace it with failed CF on both of controller?

CF card has not hp Part number. and i remember that person said that cf has signature file . don't replace with other controller, is it correct?

what is CF size, format type ?

thx
