I bought a polaroid i836 from overstock.com I just tried to insert a SD card into it and the card is stuck what now?

There are usually 2 places that an sd-card can be inserted in a digital camera - Inside near the battery under the door, or a separate flap on the bottom of the camera labeled SD.

• If there isn't a slot specifically for an SD-card on the bottom of your camera, open the battery door.
  

Try and locate a very thin rectangular ****. Once you have found the slot, take your sd card and push it inside the slot until you hear a click, that means it's securely in place.

Hi!

Try to reformat the the SD card. You can do this by inserting it on a card reader and then plug it on your PC. When the computer sees the card, go to My Computer, right click the SD card and then click Format.

stay away from driver detective they want money!!! :)

The i733 works with SD cards. Your 8GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it won't work. You need to go with SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

It's likely that the locking switch inside the camera's card slot is stuck. If you look inside the slot on the side of the slot where the SD card slide switch would be, you'll see a glint of gold color on the side. This is the camera's lock/unlock switch. The other glint's of gold that you may see at the far end of the slot are the reader's connectors (ignore those).

Somehow, the locking switch is making contact and has become stuck in the locked position. With a plastic toothpick, or other skinny NON-METALLIC item, tap against this switch to see if you can jar open the contact to its normal unlocked position. Also try blowing compressed air at it, as some gunk may have worked its way in there, jamming it closed. Occasionally, reinsert the SD card to see if the issue has been corrected.

If repeated tries fail, it may be time to consider opening the camera to force open this switch (not recommended unless you have some familiarity with electronics). In this case please see the following (xscrewdriver, hope you don't mind me referencing your blog):

I bought one today , and I had the same problem. I tried four brand new pairs of batteries and when I pressed the power button it just wouldn't work. I was going to return it tomorrow, but decided to try it again. I inserted the batteries that it originally came with and it finally worked. I tried the other batteries and it worked also, but not on the first try, in the third or fourth try. Maybe on the first few tries the batteries need to warm up? Anyway, it's working now.

You can get the unlock code here mobileunlocksolutions.com and also get the unlock instruction in the same site....

this camera has hi-resolution which takes up a lot of memory,the internal memory of the camera is only sixteen megs. all you need is to add an sd card with 1 gbyte of memory and that will solve your problem.

The SD card has a "lock" lever on it...make SURE it is in the "unlock" position.

You might also try using an SD card reader. These are VERY inexpensive on Ebay- but your computer has to have Windows 2000 installed for these readers to work.

SD cards have a tiny slide tab on the edge of the card.

This is used to lock the card, so you can't alter the contents.

Slide the tab to unlock the card.
