How are you loading it? with CF card or cable to PC?
The best bet would be to have a CF card.

Is this the 1st time the CF Card does not work?
Or was the CF card working before and now it doesn't??
I think you may have the wrong CF cards.

we'll the rom empty is another problem in itself.
you need to load the software.

Go to this link: http://www.elationlighting.com/pdffiles/SD2V118.TXT

Then save this file to the CF card,
then put the card in the SD while the power is off.

Then turn the power on..
The file should load..

let me know.

no.. try to renaming the file on the CF card.

Right now the file name is SD2V118.TXT correct?

Rename it to autoload.txt save it to the CF card.
Put the CF card in the SD2 while power is off.
Then turn power on.

Let me know.. If this still is not working for you, please call our support line.

hey sls, cause your on a bogus pc, try and just name the file "autoload". Your PC is likely aready calling the file ".txt". Therefor when you rename the file autoload.txt, your really calling it "autoload.txt.txt".
