Camera memory card?

Why does my Camera say " Memory Card Cannot be Read"?

  • Okay! So I (accidentally) deleted a crap load of pictures off my camera sooo i decided to run a scan on my memory card via my computer to get my deleted pics back. I got 'em back. that was a mouth ago. Now I took my memory card out of the card reader on my vista (it has been sitting in there for like a month) and plugged the card right back into my camera. I get a messages saying "Memory card cannot be read.... Memory card requires formatting {Okay or Cancel}" I say Okay. *Formatting Complete* I rebooted my Camera and it still was giving me the same message! I decided to format it on my computer (by right clicking on the folder and clicking "Format" from the menu). It Finished Formatting in "FAT (default)" and It still didnt work. Hopelessly, I used another Memory Card and got the same 'FormatMe' message so I completed the ENTIRE process over. I have a Kodak EasyShare C190. Original Memory Card: PNY Optima SD 2GB Attempt Replace Memory Card: Patriot Memory 2GB Micro SD with adaptor Lock Protecting Switch - a - ma - jigg on the side of the card: has been both locked and unlocked in EVERY attept. Formatting Attempts : on Windows 7 Desktop and Windows Vista Desktop. Is anything not compatible? Is my camera just 'Effed up from me leaving it without any memory for to long. Am I Technologically ignorant (probally not cause im using a computer, lmao. But HEY!)? Whats Up?...

  • Answer:

    The memory could just be locked, on it there is a little switch type thing see if it's locked.

Either both your memory cards are already broken or your camera's memory card slot is broken. The ultimate test would be a newly bought memory card.

Did you eject the card before removing it from card reader (right click on card reader then pick eject). If not try putting the card back in the reader then eject it (above)

Three possibilities. Yes the switch. Two the card is bad - can happen if you store, view and delete inside the camera. Three one of the connections in the camera isn't making contact with the card.
