Digital Memory Card slot problem -- dv3510nr

I wanted to load some photos into my new HP notebook from a Memory Stick Pro Duo card. I discovered the slot is much bigger than the card. Nothing grabs the card. Looking at a photo from the online manual, there seems to be a housing around the slot that isn't present on my computer. It looks like a very squashed T. My computer's opening is a rectangle.
Does anyone know if my computer's missing a part, or if I am doing something wrong? I am NOT misidentifying the express card slot as the media slot. It lies directly above, and is bigger yet.

I have an HP G60 that will take the regular Memory Stick but not the Memory Stick Pro Duo. I checked both sticks and they have the same contacts but the Pro Duo stick is much shorter thus making it impossible to pull out of the card reader slot. I found that if you really want to use the Memory Stick Pro Duo you can get some 1/2 inch strapping tape (The kind with nylon strings imbedded in it) and tape a little pull tab on the outside edge of the stick. It works really well if you
pull gently to extract the stick. This is just a tip if you really have the need to use the slot.

Problem with memory card slot on nokia c5 03

Sir,
I have a Nokia C5 03 from the last 8 months.....
Working very well.
Recently, my memory card stopped working.
I thought that there might be a problem in the memory card and bought a new one.
Even though i inserted new card in my phone, i am getting the same error.
In file manager it is displaying as "Memory card Corrupted."
I have checked the new memory card by inserting in to another phone which was working normally.
There i have even formatted the new memory card and again inserted into my c5.
Then also i am getting the same error message........
Can any one suggest me what to do in this regard??????
Thanks in ADVANCE.
Solved!

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Have you also tried inserting the old memory card to another phone as well? What happened after inserting it to another phone? If it's working properly with another phone, the memory card slot of the C5-03 might have an issue so you should bring it to the repair facility to have it checked.
You can search for the nearest repair facility in your area from this link: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/care-point-finder/
Hope this helps.

Hi, I have a Lenovo 3000 n100 that does not recognize the dvd player or SD memory card slot

Hi, this is my first time on here so forgive me if I don't give all of the right information, I will try. Until about a month ago my dvd player and SD memory card slot worked fine. I was attempting to download pictures from the SD memory card to my laptop when for some reason it not only stopped reading the memory card but it erased it also. I tried to watch a movie on it to see if it was working and it is not. I checked the computer to see if I could manually turn it on and neither the memory card slot or the dvd player show up at all. Is this a driver problem and if so how do I fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linda

I have struggled with the same thing, until about 1/2 hour ago....And its real simple. I'm not a techy but here's what worked for me.
Since Lenovo doesn't send boot discs you are going to have to create one. I went to http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm and downloaded the trial version - good for 10 days. If this works for you then you should buy the software (that goes w/o saying).
Once loaded to your machine you will need to create a DVD (CD may work as well, all I had was DVD's handy). Just lauch the application and it will do this for you.
Then you need to insert the DVD/CD into your player and restart the machine.
Once lauched the Software will lauch the Active@ Boot Disk menu. One of the options (going from memory here) was to give you a windows prompt. I simply typed c: and took me to the C drive. Then I typed chkdsk /f c:
I was then told my c drive was locked (sounds familiar I bet) but this time I was given the option to dismount the volume which I did. And it finally ran chkdsk, found and corrected all errors.
I rebooted my machine, launched diskeeper, and guess what - I can finally defrag my harddrive now which is sorely overdue!
Good luck. I hope this works for you!

Help...HP 2710xi...memory card transfer problems

I accidentally disconnected the network drive that my HP 2710xi uses to transfer images from my memory card to my computer.....and now when i try to transfer the images using "image zone" it says that it "cannot connect" to my printer...
Does anyone know how to re-map this network drive without having to re-install the software?

This is how the manual says it works on a network:
Save photos to your computer
After you take photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately or save
them to your computer. To save the photos to your computer, remove the memory card
from your digital camera and insert it in the appropriate memory card slot on the device.
To save photos
NOTE: Use these instructions only when you are using a network connection. If you
are using a USB connection, then a dialog box will automatically appear on the
computer when you insert the memory card in the device.
1. Insert a memory card into the appropriate slot on the device.
The Photo menu opens automatically.
2. Press the arrow keys and select Yes, and then press OK to select it.
3. Press the arrow keys and select Transfer To:, and then select the name of your
computer.
4. Follow the onscreen prompts on your computer to save the photos to your computer.

Re: Qosmio x770 - memory card reader - problem

Hi!
I want to know how to use correctly memory card slot. I put into it a memory stick pro duo. The card has been read correctly, but after that I had a huge problem with removing card from the slot. I had to use some tools to did it. What is wrong with this memory card slot (or with me)?

after you've pushed your card in you should hear a click sound - thats when the card is locked in the slot
to remove the card you should push the card even further in until you hear a second click - thats when the card will be released from the slot
if i am correct you tried to remove your card without pushing it in again, so the release was not properly used, thats why it was hard for you to remove it
hope you did not break anything in your card slot ^_^ next time when something like this occurs in your computer, car etc. try to think slower and realize that someone who designed a certain feature probably wouldn't have done it so difficult, so there has to be another solution - one that you are missing :-)
after i bought my nikon d200 i had the same issue removing my battery, when all you had to do is tilt the camera, so graivty pulss it a bit down, then you are able to grab it. what i did is tried to get it out from the top and i nearly took my camera back to the shop to give it back
good luck !

HDR CX380 card slot problem

Purchased HDR CX380 Nov.29,2013. Returned for repair Nov.12,2014. Could not insert card in SD slot. This was on EVENT ID: E60644077. Now on June 30,2015, card will not click into place in slot. Have only used slot a maximum of 3 times since the repair. A $400.00 camera should not have these issues. We have 2 Sony TV's, DVD Player, and other equipment. I expect a company with the reputation of Sony to do something about this continuing SD card slot problem. IF NOT, I will be forced to find another camera without the Sony name on it.

Hi gregruthswanson,
Pls ensure you are using the supported type and capacity of Memory Card media for use with the camera. Insert the Memory Card in a correct direction until it clicks. Push the center portion of the visible edge of the memory card (pls see this guide for instructions) .
You can also try to use other memory cards just to make sure that the memory card you're currently using isn't damaged.
If the issue is still unresolved, service may be required.

USB ports and memory card slots not working

My Pavilion a6120n desktop has worked brilliantly ever since I purchased it. As of last week the 2 usb ports in the front and the 2 unused usb ports in the back have stopped working. My printer is plugged into one rear port and my wireless mouse is plugged into a second rear port and these work fine. I generally use a memory stick for data swapping or the card reader slots (which have also stopped working). I no longer see the memory card icons in the "Computer" window. When installing something new the "New Hardware Found" statement pops up but the driver install always fails. I think it is a software issue but there are no usb drivers to download on the HP/support site that I can find. . . so . . . Below is what I have tried so far.Run antivirus software. Full scan & memory scan - no issuesRun malewarebytes full scan - no issues I have tried restarting several times with no success. Restore to several previous restore points = failedRestarting computer in repair mode = failedRun the repair disk that I had made = failedChecked the power management for each usb port to see if the power was routed properly = okRemoved the case cover and carefully inspected the wiring and connectors.finally I tried uninstalling the usb drivers = failed Upon restarting the computer the last time the startup file must have failed and after several hours of attempting a repair I had to reinstall the Window 7 completely. Still no usb or memory card function. Any help would be appreciated Thanks,MrBob38

Memory Card Reader problems

I have seen this problem for a long time on Arch. This was occuring when I used an external SCSI memory card reader, and now I notice the same thing with my new linux box which has an internal 15-in-1 card reader connect to the USB card. It goes like this ...
When I insert the card, my KDE desktop fails to notice it. When I open a terminal and run dmesg, nothing relevant shows up. When I attempt to mount the device, I'm told it doesn't exist. After some passage of time, it will still fail, unless I do a fdisk on that device to see if fdisk sees it. Sometimes it takes a few fdisks to find it, but eventually it seems to find it. At that point I can mount the device. But one thing that has been true in the past as well as the present ... I must issue a fdisk command for that device (and then exit fdisk) before Arch Linux ever sees the device. This has been true since 0.6x Arch, and now true of 0.72 Arch, on two different boxes and with two different card readers.

i had this prob ages ago. was even convinced it was some physical slots that were broke, (rear slots worked fronts didnt )or one particular cardreader (gtech 21-in-1) as it glitched under windows too.
at some point tho, in Arch anyways, the problem went away, and i think now it was more to do with modules and confs and it got solved more by tinkering than knowing what was what definitively. we live and learn
maybe try as su - root lsmod |grep usb

Canon 5D Mark ii Memory Card/CF Problem - Overwriting pic

Hello,
I have had my Canon 5D Mark ii for a year and a half now and love it. However, from time to time I have issues with the memory card/ memory card reader and it is really acting up right now. I have tried a couple of different memory cards, so I don't believe that the actual card is the issue. What happens is that the first pic comes out fine and then the next picture overwrites the one I just took and has a pink striped part through part of the pic. If I take a third pic it will overwrite it again and the whole pic will be very washed out and have that same pink strip through it. The only thing that works is taking out the memory card and putting it back in. I'm missing lots of pics lately though! See below for pic examples. In the second pic you can see the pink strip at the top. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? We are going to the beach in a few weeks and I really want my camera to work! Thanks!!! ~ Stacie

Stacie,
Almost always things like this are the fault of the CF card but not entirely. The things you need to know and do are....
Buy top quality cards like Snadisk or Lexar. Get them from known good retailers. Usually 4GB, 8BG or 16GB is best.
Only format the CF card with the camera, never with a computer. Format the CF card before each important shoot.
Have spares.
Another important factor is to set the camera back to factory defaults whenever you see someting you don't know how it happened!
You may want to reinstall your camera's firmware and this is a good time to make sure it is the latest from Canon.
Go to the 5D Mk II web page.
And card readers go bad. Get a new one. They are cheap. Even the USB port in your computer can fail so try a different port or another computer.
It is also possibilt that one or two of the very tiny pins in the CF card slot have been bent over. Use a flash light to see it they are all upright.
I use the entire line of 5D's and they are truly great cameras. You will love it.

N97 memory card. big problem

Hi all, I have the latest firmware installed on my N97, but after the latest upgrade (clean install was done, mass mem refromatted, hard reset, etc') On checking over the phone I started getting messages that the Mass mem' was full (rubbish) I eventually traced it to my 8 gig mem' card, cos after this was removed the phone worked perfectly again, I tried reformatting the card via the pc , same problem when the card was put back in, tried a brand new card , same problem, lastly tried a known working 4 gig mem' card, same problem???? anyone have ANY idea whats happening here? and how to fix this???
Regards to all..........

I forgot to say that I get the message thet the memory card is corrupt but it is not, as I have tried 3 different cards (working ok ijn other phones) all reformatted to fat 32 and each time a card is inserted the phone slows down and displays the message that mass mem' is full and on checking the card I get "card is corruupt" message!

USB/memory card reader problem, any help would be great

Hello all, I bought a new memory card reader today and our computer will not recoginize it's there. The reader is a Targus universal 32 in 1 memory card reader/writer and I think the model is TGR-CRD25, it also says USB 2.0. I didn't have any problems with the old reader as far as the machine "seeing" the reader. This new reader does show up in the system profiler but the little power light will not come on and I get a "low power for device" type message when I plug it in. I unplugged the keyboard and plugged in the new reader to the USB port where the keyboard was connected and the light came on on the reader but iphoto was still saying no storage device when I tried to import pictures? Any ideas?

There is very little extra power available once the mouse is hooked to the keyboard. The "real" solution is to get a USB Hub with its own power supply.

Really anooying memory card/gallery problem nokia ...

Hey guys
this is the 3rd time this has happened since i got my new nokia n73
i read some reviews about the nokia n73 and the cons are that its sometimes slow and lags.
Well after i take a video or photo and i hit the red end call button ( it works just when i cancel out not just on that button )
And then go into gallery to see the image/video i took there is nothing on my memory card. its like it format itself. Theres no images/videos/songs. All gone.
The phone is picking up the memory card but not whats on it
I got a 1gb mini sd why does it do this? i try turning off phone and taking out card but i dont see whats wrong
Im about to connect phone to pc to see if pc picks up stuff on card but it looks like it formatt it self.
Thanks in advance i appreciate it
PS another problem, when i turn phone off it doesnt completely turn off, the screensaver of the time and date comes on with a white backround and wont turn off and on it seems frozen.
im disappointed of this slow laggy phone. only downside to it
thanksMessage Edited by jamezy2007 on 24-Sep-200708:05 AM

That is because of gallery database error.
Try this trick: /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=54784&page=1
If it fails, then a hard reset is the next solution probably. Get the backup of phone memory through PC Suit to your PC as the hard reset will clean the phone memory data like contacts, messages etc.
Check if your phone's SW is lates or not:*#0000#.

Epson Artisan Memory Card Access Problem

I just purchased this new printer and everything works well over my wireless network except for getting access to the memory card reader. The supplied Memory Card app kept saying that it couldn't find the server. I couldn't find any help on the net but after some poking around I solved the problem myself. Maybe this will be of some help to others.
First I ran the Artisan 710 Network Setup and copied the printer ip address. Then I went to Connect To Server (command K) and put smb:// and the ip address of the printer. After connecting the printer will show up on the side bar as one of the servers which is easier to interact with than the Memory Card app. Curiously the app still says that it can't connect to the server even after I connected to it manually.
