Caution
Formatting a memory card permanently deletes all files on the
card. Be sure that you copy any valued files to a computer before
formatting a memory card. Do not disconnect the card reader or
remove the memory card while formatting is in progress.
Solution
• Make sure that the memory card is fully inserted into the slot.
• Make sure that the card reader is fully connected to your computer.
Unplug and reconnect your card reader.
• Try a different memory card of the same type in the same slot. If a
different memory card works, the original memory card should be
replaced.
• Disconnect the cable from your card reader and shine a flashlight
into the empty card slots. Look to see if any pin inside is bent, then
straighten bent pins with the tip of a mechanical pencil. Replace
your memory card reader if a pin has bent so much that it touches
another pin.
• Make sure that your computer has the lates OS updates and service
packs installed.
