Solution: Make sure you fully insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on the HP All-in-One.

If the memory card is not inserted properly, the HP All-in-One will not respond and the green Photo light (near the memory card slots) will blink rapidly.

After the memory card has been inserted properly, the Photo light will blink green for a few seconds, and then remain lit.

Troubleshooting

Card is damaged

Cause: You formatted the card on a Windows XP computer. By default, Windows XP will format a memory card of 8 MB or less and 64 MB or more with the FAT32 format. Digital cameras and other devices use the FAT (FAT16 or FAT12) format and cannot recognize a FAT32 formatted card.

Solution: Reformat your memory card in your camera or format your memory card in a Windows XP computer by selecting the FAT format.

Cause: The file system is corrupted.

Solution: Check the computer screen for an error message telling you that the images on the memory card are corrupted.

If the file system on the card is corrupt, reformat the memory card in your digital camera.

CAUTION: Reformatting the memory card will delete any photos stored on the card. If you have previously transferred the photos from your memory card to a computer, try printing the photos from the computer. Otherwise, you will need to retake any photos you might have lost.
