My Compact Flash memory card that came with the 2880, ya’ know, the unlabeled 1GB card one….. broke within a couple of weeks. I bought some high-speed 2GB cards (TRANSCEND brand) online for cheap and replaced the original one. Haven’t had a problem since.

I can’t say for sure that your problem is limited to the card, but I’m betting that’s all it is, especially if you can still hear your dry signal. Try another compact flash card before anything. I’ve also heard of others cards failing too……

Let us know if you find out this is the problem or otherwise what it is….. Memory cards aside, I’ve got a feeling these boxes are going to hold up for a long time.

NOTE to EHX, might be time to source a different supplier for the next batch of Memory Cards, just sayin’, ….. I’ve been using Transcend memory for years now from both budget memory and their high end for photography, and they’ve been solid memory. They are great value and very dependable. Actually an 8GB compact flash card went through my washing machine last week and came out working like day one. Maybe Transcend offers private label…. or generic.
