Question about Canon PowerShot S30 Digital Camera

Granddaughter forced memory card into slot incorrectly and bent pins

My granddaughter forced the memory card into the slot incorrectly and bent a couple of the pins at the base on my Canon Powershot S30. Does anyone know of a way to get to the pins so they can be straightened? We've straightened crooked pins on mice using the hole in a ink pen and I would try that but first I have to be able to get to the bent pin.

A long pair of needlenose pliers, or possibly tweezers. As you've noticed, it's near impossible to disassemble the needles from the mem card housing.

Hello, Tina -

Your granddaughter will need to sign into the gift card account and change the email address from hers to yours. Also, if your granddaughter put her name on the gift card account, she should change the name to yours.

HP short beep long beep

Your computer runs a self test when you turn it on. Its part of the BIOS - Basic Input Output System. One short and one long followed by the system not starting for HP/Compaq is memory error. This could be caused by incorrect memory being added, memory being taken out and returned to the wrong slot, incorrect insertion, dirt/dust balls or bad memory. If you just messed with it take it out and wipe the contacts with a big eraser or paper towel with rubbing alcohol. Vacuum out or blow out the dust. Look for bent pins on the connectors. Reinsert, paying attention to the keys (spaces which allow it to go in only one direction). HP and Compaq Desktop PCs BIOS Beep Codes

My granddauther lock my phone.it says pukcodeis blocked contact your provider. so idid they think sims card defected.need new card

There is a PUK2-code, which is used when the PUK-code is entered incorrectly 3 times in a row. If the PUK2-code is entered 3 times in a row incorrectly the sim-card blocks forever, then the only solution is to get a new one at the carrier's office. Looks like your granddaughter did right that so the only solution is to get a new card.

Digital Camera: How to Fix Compact Flash Memory Cards ErrorIt is not very typical for compact flash memory cards to give you an error. If you do receive an error, it most likely means that a pin within your CF card slot is bent, or your CF card has become corrupted. Unfortunately, if your CF card has become corrupted, you will need to reformat the memory card, which means that you may lose any pictures that were located on the card.
Fixing Your Flash Memory Card

You will want to remove your CF card and the batteries. Take a look inside the CF card slot to see if there is a bent pin. If you find a bent pin, you can correct this problem using a very small and skinny flat screwdriver. Moving very slowly, use the screwdriver to bend the pin back into place. You do not want to use enough force to make the pin back in one shot.
The pin does not have to be perfectly straight, but get it as close to straight as possible. Insert your CF card back into the slow very slowly. You should see the in align itself with the card. You can turn your digital camera on to verify that the compact flash memory card is now working.

How do you download the camera memory ( HP CB350

In the camera menu, there should be an entry for "copy" which should give you the option to copy the internal memory to the memory card.

When I try to put my memory card into my Canon EOS 50D Camera memory slot, it won't go in all the way. And I have tried a million times.

The two most likely causes are the card direction (I assume you've tried flipping it over), and bent pins in the bottom of the card slot. Take a look deep into the slot and look for any bent pins. They're very delicate, and don't like to be bent back and forth. I have had good success by straightening them with a thin screwdirver.

Try a different memory card. Some of these cameras may not support large sizes. Try a smaller card such as a 512 or a 128.

Problem

Look at the bottom of the memory card slot, you probably bent one or more of the contactor pins. Use a small screwdriver and carefully try to straight the bent pin then carefully put the memory card back in. From now on, use a USB cable for downloading your pictures and don't pull the card out anymore as the pin is probably weaker than before and can break. Good luck
