been using my xk3y jasper happily for many years
now it is acting finicky
more and more it won't auto close the tray to enter mixed mode
unplugging, jiggling USB cables, praying to xk3y gods, re powering - it begins working again
everything is fine once I get a game loaded
but switching games usually makes it stuck reading or open tray
thus repeating the cycle of praying to xk3y false idols - I'm running out of sacrificial offerings
my suspicion is the flex cable
originally plugged in the back
now it carefully rests atop my console
USB extension cable to the front
so my Kinect plugs in the back
everything set this way untouched for about a year
got a single E64 error when the problem first started happening - maybe I left something unplugged
what do you all think the problem is?
Solved: So it turns out the problem was that crappy SD card was intermittently failing. I solved the problem by writing the base 1.30 xk3y image to a spare SanDisk card, copying my firmware.bin, xkey.cfg, and updating the uImage and rootfs firmware files like @DinohScene mentioned. I took a couple unnecessary steps along the way, but I'm just so thankful everything worked out. Thanks to everyone for the help!

I’d be curious to know what the solution is if you fix it.
