it sounds like you have your memory card protected, remove your memory card and on the side of it slide the button the other way, it should unlock it, good luck
If the memory card is truly locked, there should be a slide tab on the card that needs to be moved to the unlock positiion. Check the card. Which SD card do you have?

Camera will not switch off; before that kept bring up black screen with E18 in bottom lefthand corner. Now it will not switch off and is on permanently no matter which mode you switch it too.
