Re: Sharp MX-M365N Corrupt SD Card

The MX365's come with a HDD, I'm confused.....are you referring to the HDD Mirroring kit?

My other source of confusion here is that beside the emergency firmware dip switch, there is another called SD Boot. What is it used for? I've tried it while troubleshooting "dead" machines but seems to do nothing.....or at least nothing to my eyes.

There are machines that do not come standard with a HDD, those are especially prone to this issue. Adding the HDD option did solve our issue along with using a quality card.

The firmware dip switch is used to force the machine to load an emergency firmware file. This process was described in previous service manuals.

The SD boot is to force the machine to boot from the SD card assuming it has full boot software. This is not something that I have ever needed to do to fix anything. I have use the emergency firmware to bring a machine back that was corrupt.
