Moultrie MFH-DGS-200 .... says SD Card Locked on screen and won't take pics. It is a new battery and SD card...help??
I had the same problem with my game cam this year and after disassembling the camera and looking at the SD card assembly I fixed it using the following technique. My assumption is that the SD card assembly is poorly constructed and that the card is not making good contact with the contact springs inside the SD card connector.
1. I removed the sd card
2. I folded a piece of notebook paper so that it was about the width of the sd card slot and about as thick as 3 sheets of notebook paper.
3. I slid the folded paper into the SD card slot
4. With the paper still in the sd card slot, I slid in the SD card on top of it with the contacts facing up (the correct direction). This made the sd card fit much more snug in the slot.
5. I turned the camera on, and left the paper in the slot with the SD card.
The camera then recognized the SD card every time.
Hope this works for you too.
Okay, I finally tried an OLD SD card and the camera is working again. I'm really wondering if technology changed with the SD cards and the older one's work and the newer ones don't. That is the only thing I can think of.
Ck postion of switch on side of SD card...should be pushed toward contacts

Did trouble shooting with Moultrie, finally the had me format my sd card and put it in the camera, after that it would not read any card I have, not a new one or any of the 5 I already have.
