Troubleshooting
If memory cards do not appear in My Computer/Computer or Windows
Explorer (Windows operating systems) or on the desktop (Mac operating
systems), check the following:
• Make sure that the memory card is fully inserted into the slot.
• Make sure 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.
If memory cards appear in My Computer/Computer (Windows operating
systems) or on the desktop (Mac operating systems) but errors occur
when writing or reading, check the following:
• Make sure that the memory card is fully inserted into the slot.
• Try a different memory card of the same type in the same slot. If
the different memory card works, the original memory card
should be replaced.
• Some cards have a read/write security switch. Make sure that the
security switch is set to Write Enabled.
• Make sure that the amount of data you attempted to store has
not exceeded the capacity of the card.
• Inspect the ends of the memory cards for dirt or material closing
a hole. Clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth and small
amounts of isopropyl alcohol.
• If errors persist, replace the memory card.
