I bought the HP Photosmart M527. The old memory card stated "memory full". Bought a new card and the same thing happened. How do I fix it. Can I send the camera to HP for repair and where do I send it? Any idea of cost??

This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html
I have an HP R927 and just had the same problem. Take out your memory card. Look on the side of the card and you will see and white "knobby thing" ... make sure it is pushed up ... that should fix it.
The first thing you will have to check the card. There is slot on the
card that contains a switch. This will lock the card so that it is
write-protected. This will cause the unsupported card error.
If the card looks fine, try a card reader just to confirm that the card has not been corrupted.
If
the card is functional and you can read its contents from the PC or
another SD-slot device, then the issue is your camera. The slot
contains thin copper prongs that comes in contact the copper surface on
the back of the SD card. If the prongs are bent or damage, then the
camera cannot read your card.
The same thing happened to my photosmart 8450, so I went to ebay and bought one of those download devices for less than ten dollars and it works just great. Takes all the cards, and seems to be trouble free.
Simple really you need to buy a new memory card that is compatible with your HP photosmart. The card you have is probably designed for toshiba products specifically.
This has happened to my wife's camera twice now. The solution (I think this is the fix) is to take the card out of the camera and then turn it back on without the card in the camera. Doing this will access the camera's internal memory and at this point you should delete any/all/some of the pictures that you find. After deleting some pics from the camera then take a picture. Now turn the camera off and replace the card. Power on the camera and either format the card or just start taking pictures again. I formatted the this last time since I had already moved the pictures to the P.C. and saved them. Give this a try. It's worked for me and it's free.
Try plugging the camera into your computer. Under my computer the camera should pop up as a new drive. Right click and choose format. If you have a card reader built into your computer you can simply plug the card into that and do the same thing.
Either way you do it, that may help. Your card has been corrupted and the camera can not fix it. Windows may be able to fix it instead, it may not though. In the end you may have to purchase a whole new memory card for the camera.
They can become corrupted and sometimes they get corrupted in a way that the device itself can't fix. I had a Multimedia Card get corrupted in my cell phone and the phone couldn't format it, nor could windows. Luckily there was a program for another type of cell phone that worked on mine that fixed it by doing a low level format of the card.
This option isn't available to you on a camera, so you're somewhat limited in the ways you can repair the memory card.
