Troubleshooting the memory card reader

If you are having problems reading to or writing to a memory card, try the following:

Make sure the read/write switch on the memory card, if available, is set to Write Enabled.

Make sure the amount of data you want to store is not larger than the capacity of the memory card.

Make sure the memory card is one of the supported types: CompactFlash Type I and II, IBM Microdrive, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital, SmartMedia, or xD media.

Make sure the memory card is fully inserted into the correct slot.

Remove the memory card and shine a flashlight into the empty slot to see if any pins are bent. Replace the memory card reader or have the PC serviced if a pin is bent to the point of touching another pin. Straighten slightly bent pins with the PC off using the tip of a fine tip retracted ballpoint pen.

Inspect the ends of the memory cards for anything that could be blocking a proper connection. Clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth and small amounts of alcohol. Replace the memory card, if necessary.

CompactFlash and Microdrive are keyed and cannot be inserted incorrectly. Insert the receptacle edge (holes) of this media into the slot.
