well.. i bought a 1gb sandisk SD card off ebay off a seller who sales many of these with a 100% feedback. well for some reason sometimes it wont pick up the card..it will say there isent a card inserted and ill have to take it out then push it back in.

any idea why? help would be appreciated.

EDIT: EVERYTIME I GO TO A DIFFERENT SCREEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT THINKS THERES NO SD CARD IN.

Make sure there isn't anything messing up the contacts on the sd card. Do you have anything in your house or a friends that could try the card out also?

it works for like 10 seconds till i click something then stops reading it ha. kinda upset right now.

well, idk how much u payed, but right now, 84.99 2gb sandisk at circuit city and radioshack. i just snagged one cause its pretty much the price of a 1gig. just thought i'd throw that out there for anyone looking to get one, or for the unfortunate ebay buyers that got bad cards

i just thought of something... what if i went and bought the same one from best buy. then returned it with this defective sd card in it as defective? It's their brand and same amount. of space. its their fault they made defective ones in the first place...what do u think about my idea, i might go attempt this from circuit city.. will i get refunded cash or have to get in store credit?

anyone?

I was running a treo 600 (unlocked) and 256MB SD card untill about a month ago. Then I picked up a treo 650 (unlocked) and a 1GB SD card. Once I got my 650 both memory cards don't work. I tried formatting them on my PC and Mac and it either says format card and then it says read only OR it will say card not writable read only and then not show up at all. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!! I am sitting here with 2MB left on internal memory and a 1GB card and I am really frustrated that it won't work. I will over a reward of $15 over PayPal to anyone who figures it out and gets it to work. THANKS!!!

Deliciously dishonest. But that's exactly what I'd do, and HAVE done. They'll just Damage it & you'll get a full refund as long as you have your reciept.

2 gb SD card for $48.80 with shipping. Its an off brand, but look at the 39 reviews.

Flawless.
