Problem for Canon PowerShot A620 Digital Camera

Tried to unlock Lexar SD 2GB and Lexar SDHC 4 GB - No luck

Tried to unlock Lexar SD 2GB and Lexar SDHC 4 GB memory cards for camera - multiple times, all with no results.
* 2 GB - was able to use for 3 (three) days and take 3 (three) pictures before "Card Locked!" message

* 4 GB - "Card Locked!" message on screen from debut

Looked inside camera - switch is not "stuck" in open position.

Now what? Time to buy a new camera?

Very frustrated.

First of all, the 4GB card will never be able to work in your camera. Check on its face. It likely says SDHC, and SDHC cards as this format came out after your camera was designed (I know it looks exactly like a normal SD card, but it's not).

Now the 2GB card should work with your camera as it is a standard SD card. Remove the card from your camera. Look on the side of the card for the tiny slide switch, and slide it to the other "unlocked" position. Reinsert it in the camera, and see if that corrects the problem.

- Oh and if the 2GB card was already in the "unlocked" position, try formatting it in your camera. Press the Menu button, and select the "tools" menu. Scroll down to the selection stating your card's memory capacity and select it. Then follow the on-screen prompts to format it. Note that this will also totally erase the card, so download any important pictures first before doing this.
