likely to be card or monitor?

[dr_parsley]

Hello,

My pm3 has started sometimes complaining it can't read the card. I see I can buy a new card for £5, but I was wondering how likely it is to actually be the card that is at fault, rather than the PM3? I'm not in a location where I can test the card in another machine (in rural Africa probably 600km from the nearest machine!).

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

It is more likely to be the card.

I had one fail, simply couldn't read it, format it or anything in either the PM3 at the gym or with my Omnikey card reader at home. Concept2.co.uk replaced it free of charge when I was up there collecting the machines for the Basingstoke race.

There have been some faults reported when the PM3 fails to make a good connection to the card, but that's a less common fault.

Thanks for the reply! £5 is not a lot of money, but I thought it worth checking...
