This is an add-on section for checking your SD card for errors using F3X.
Depending on the size of your SD card and the speed of your computer, this process can take up to several hours!
This page is for Mac users who are using macOS Sierra (10.12) and earlier. If you are not on macOS, check out the Windows or Linux.
 |
If you're using a Mac on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and above, follow this page instead. |
 |
Copy all of your SD's contents to your PC and then format the SD card before starting this guide. If you do not, F3X will be unable to test the parts of the SD that still have data in them. |
What You Need
- The latest version of F3X (the
.zipfile)
Instructions
- Unzip the F3X
.zipfile - Insert your SD card into your computer
- Run the F3X app
- Select your SD card
- Press "Start Test"
- Wait until the process is complete
 |
If the test shows the result Success! Your card is ok!, your SD card is likely good. You can delete all .h2w files on your SD card. |
 |
If the test shows any other results, your SD card is failing. You will have to replace it! |
