X 5470 Memory Card not being recognized by my computer

Is it a newer 4GB or larger SDHC card, and are you trying to use it in an older (4 years or older) camera? If so, that's your problem. SDHC format only came out a few years back, and older cameras can not recognize them. You'd need to use 2GB or less standard SD cards only. Fortunately, these are very inexpensive these days, and widely available on Amazon if your local stores no longer carry them.

Hi hitendra_sin,

Try these steps:

Remove memory card and plug it to computer via card reader and check if it is able to reade the details

If it is successfully read by the computer, then take a back up of entire memory card.

Then format the entire memory card.

Check if it is recognized. If recognized, remove and plug it back to computer and copy only the required file to memory card like music, pictures and videos.

If not recognized, you will loose the data, try reformatting the memory card and use as new.

This should work.

Thank you

Do not use the computer to erase the card. This is the reason your camera no longer recognizes the card. Now you need to format the card in the camera to get it to work properly.

Troubleshoot:

Memory card is used by digital camera to store the photos it takes. Popular memory cards include SD card, CF card, xD-Picture card and Memory stick. For some reasons, memory card may get damaged on power shortage, or removal of memory card on picture shooting or viewing, or other various and unknown reasons. Usually, you will see error message like "memory card error", "card locked", "card error", or an error code on your camera screen and the valuable pictures on the memory card could disappear and be lost. Some cases, your camera or Windows may prompt you to re-format the memory card and refuse to take new pictures or view old pictures.

Solution:

Once you have your memory card damaged, it is highly recommended to stop further operations on the memory card (e.g. taking new pictures, or delete, format the memory card). Data recovery software like "CardRecovery" is able to recover the lost pictures in most cases.

First, you need to confirm your memory card can appear as a drive letter in "My Computer", which will allow recovery software to access and recover the lost photos. You may try to connect your digital camera to your computer, if a new drive letter appears in "My Computer", it is OK. Otherwise, you need to prepare a USB card reader. There are many card readers available in market (e.g. SanDisk and Kingston). You can buy one from Amazon or BestBuy.


Then, you may download and install CardRecovery to your computer. Launch it from Start Menu -> Programs -> CardRecovery. You select the drive letter of your memory card, and destination folder for save the recovered files. CardRecovery will scan your memory card and locate the recoverable pictures. The process is quick and easy. Usually it takes less than 15 minutes.

Can I re-use the corrupted memory card?

For data protection, CardRecovery performs read only operation on your memory card and it does not change the data on the memory card, so it does not repair or fix the memory card. If you need, AFTER you have recovered your lost photos from the card, you may try to format the memory card before re-use. It is suggested to perform enough read/write test before using it again to take new pictures. If you are worrying that the memory card is unstable and may cause further data loss, purchase and use a new memory card. Your valuable and irreplaceable photos are more important than memory card. Memory card is very cheap. A new 2GB SD, CF or xD card is less than $10.

Hello. Regarding your problem first you have to consider the compatibility of your memory card in your computer cause not all memory card supported by computer. Other memory card need to install their device driver in order to recognize by the system that you are currently using. Therefore my recommendation, try to check first if the your memory card reader evice is recognize by the system/computer then check also the memory card itself maybe their something wrong with your memory card and if you find out that the memory card of your's have the problem then return it to the supplier.

If it is not a psp memory stick,or a compatible psp memory stick,IT will not work.Most memory sticks are not compatible with the psp.

Karen,

Sounds like your card may have went bad. A good way to check this would be to use a different memory card. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Sincerely,

Jeremiah

look into the camera with a bright light and see if any pins are bent where the memory card goes in. also check to see if the card is unlocked and check the card to see if it works in another device.
