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 (1, 2 and Microdrive), Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia, Secure Digital, or SmartMedia.

■Make sure 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.
