Memory card i have a samsung s630... and i can't figure out how to unlock the memory card... its an emergency! memory card locked

  • tcdn2007 May 11, 2010

    I just wanted to say "thank you" for posting this advice--I had no idea the memory card had a switch, and I just had the same problem...having buried my instruction manual deep under papers somewhere in my too-full apartment, I had no idea what to do. But I googled, and found your solution, and now I can take pictures again :-) Thanks!!!

If the card is locked, you could the steps below:

- Turn off camera
- Remove memory card
- Take a look on the switch of the memory card itself
* If it's at the TOP = card is UNLOCKED
* If it's at the BOTTOM = card is LOCKED

- So, you just have to make sure that the switch is at the top
for the memory card to be UNLOCKED

After doing that, you just have to put back the memory card to your camera and turn on the camera. Try to check if this works.

SOURCE: memory card

Hi Aisha,
I had the same problem but and i checked the small tab on the side of the card. it was in unlock position. i subsequently fixed the card adaptor to rest firmly on the side of the switch using a small paper wedge on the opposite side. This cleared the problem. However card adaptor should now not be removed otherwise you may revert to original problem

CARD LOCKED IN ES70 SAMSUNG CAMERA

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

If that doesn't do it, try another card.

I have the samsung s630 and i have taken some pictures on it before i got a memory card. i want to save them to my memory card, but when i insert the memory card those photos wont show up. how do i get...

If you remove the card from the camera and connect the camera to your computer with the USB lead, you should see the camera's internal memory as a disk drive on the computer. If there is a memory card inserted, you will see that memory instead.

Unlocking individual pictures is done with the same function that locked them. It is probably on a menu available when you are viewing the pictures on the camera.

Memory card

Hi Aasha,

To unlock an SD card, you should locate a small tab on the side of the card. Be careful when reinserting the card to make sure you do not lock the card again.
