Problem for Sony Mavica MVC-FD85 Digital Camera

Won't read floppies

By granne on Oct 24, 2006

" "

I hate to give up my SONY camera, but recently it won't read ANY floppies I try to use. It gives the message on the screen "DISK PROTECT" what can I do to resolve this?

Please help, I sure don't want to purchase a new one as we've grown old together.

- Camera saves pics to a floppy disk (or a memory card in an adapter that looks like a floppy disk). Camera isn't finding the disk when it's in the camera and gives an error. Unsure what the problem is exactly, but I think something is wrong with the drive inside the camera. Wondering too if it would cost more to fix than a new camera would.- marmit04
