SD card question

newcoolnarutard · 05-28-2009, 03:17 PM

[b][u]Hey guys,

I am new to this site, so I apologise if this is the wrong section to post this thread but I have a quick question.

Basically I read my SD via my Epson printer. But for some reason (And this has been after about a year) my SD is now "not formatted".

I tried formatting but it comes up with a message saying it cannot format it.

The SD card works in my Nintendo Wii AND my Nintendo DSi. But now my computer won't recognise it so any help please?

Thanks.

Make sure that the card is not 'locked' - the little slider on the edge of the card.

Yeah I tried that :( it is already unlocked.

I forgot to mention it works on my Dads comp just not mine. Is it my printer?

Will your computer /printer recognise other sd cards?

Other than suggesting to try another sd card to test the computer/printer, I din't think I can offer any other suggestions

could be a bad contact in the slot, sometimes the pins get pushed back or even worse , they get bent and require extremely careful straightening or a socket replacement
