Quoted from BudManPinFan:Any ideas how to fix this?
Try taking it apart and reseating the ribbon cable connections. Also, try to wiggle them while apart and powered on to see if that changes anything.

Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:The only thing I haven't replaced is the board itself.
And the micro SD card! Try a new card!

I’d try a different card reader, a different memory card and a different computer to rule out any random incompatibility with the software/hardware combo. Also try a different disc image just in in case there’s an issue there as well. Good luck!

Quoted from DanQverymuch:It seems I need to reflash my SD card.
Corrupt animations, dontcha know. Some were messed up before I moved my clock to a switched outlet, before I learned that cutting power can cause more corruption.
However, I like only having it going when I'm there to see it, so I'd like to leave it on the switch. So, I have a question.
If I'm careful to only ever turn it off right after a new animation starts, meaning it won't be picking and logging a new one for a short while, will that keep further corruption from happening? Seems to me that should work, if what I'm reading about why it occurs is accurate.
In the six years I’ve owned my DMD clock I’ve never had one corruption issue and never had to worry about how to turn it off. I bet that your issue has to do with the brand of SD card you’re using. Try another brand of SD card to see how it goes.
