Hi,
I posted my case in other category and perhaps I should have started here.

Some months ago I was using ML in my 5D M2 with one of the builds of july and august (cant remember which mont)to shoot a short film in raw. Almost to finish the project one day Magic Lantern disappeared from a Komputer Bay 1000x 32 GB card. And also it didnt wanted to start in my 16GB Lexar.
Since that day, the komputer bay never came to life again in my 5D but it did in other cameras such as a rebel.

Then my Lexar 16gb card started to work fine again, but then started to behave funny, some times it booted, other times it didnt , in some period it could take time to start up. So I though of a card corruption.

The 5D works perfect without card, and with other cards also works great.

So I decided a couple of weeks ago to buy two other lexar cards, a new 16gb 1000X and a 8GB 800X.

To my surprise, (without ML) the camera can boot fine with the 8gb 800X but with the new 16gb lexar card it just cant.

I decided to disable the booflag installing ML and switching the dial. Then I insert the 16gb Lexar 1000x and it does make the camera start but only the top lcd display, it does focus , change speed, iris, etc...but I cant see the menu in the display or press to shoot.

If I enable the bootflag, the camera wont start with that card, only if I let it sit some minutes connected to the mac it comes to life, but is not stable, it turns off or acts funny.

I tried removing the silver battery, downgrading and upgrading canon firmware, etc...but nothing....

Any ideas in how to solve this thing?...
thanks.

Hello
If there is a post similar to this please let me know as I haven´t found a solution for my problem

Last year I installed magic lantern in a Lexar 1000x 16GB and in a 32GB komputerbay 1000x. Everything was ok shooting RAW until one day, something happened, magic lantern disappeared from the komputerbay card, and in my lexar card started to give some problems when booting. Then everything worked fine after some hours.

But since then, I have been having troubles with the 16GB lexar card, sometimes was able to boot with it and others didnt so it became unstable. I decided to erase ML and go for h264 only in video. But also I had some problems with other cards, some works like a champ, and others cant be recognized. A 133x Sony card works well for example. But the 16 gb lexar never came to life again.

So last week I bought in amazon two lexars. An 8GB 800X lexar and a 16gb 1000X lexar...I thought that it could be some card corruption. But this is what happened.

Lexar 8GB 800x started just fine.


The brand new Lexar 16GB 1000x didnt boot the camera...it even didnt blink.

Anyone has an Idea of what kind of demon has got in to my 5D?.....


Thanks for your help

UPDATE FOR THIS
After reading some posts, I installed ML in the sony card, then I disabled the boot flag , the camera does start with the lexar 16gb card but only shows information in the top display, it doesn't let me use menus or shoot, it does let me focus and change shutter speed or iris...but thats it, no blink, no menu display...

I was in a hurry to finish the lasagna but couldn´t wait to try ML RAW in my 5D M2...so I did my first test, takes time to work with the DNG files but RAW its just a gift from the GODS...

Magic Lantern...I will remember that name forever.

I´m not a great chef...but here is my video.
