Screen says write protect

When you are in 'TV' mode press the MENU button on the remote. Click on 'picture' then scroll down to picture options and press enter. Scroll to the bottom and click on 'Burn Screen Protection'. You then need to turn off the 'Auto Protection time'. After this, it is a good idea to go to pixel shift, turn it on and set values 4, 4, 1 for Horizontal, Vertical and Time respectively. (You can set your own options though). XD. Jacob.

When you disconnected the camera, did you use the "safely remove hardware" icon at the bottom of your computer screen?

go into the setup menu and turn off "Write Protect."

There is no write protect external switch on XD. The error is the result of a bad sector, improper ejection from a media reader, or in the worst case - a file virus. The only solution is a reformat. This will destroy all photos and data on the card, so be sure to save them prior to this step, assuming they can still be seen and read by the camera or a PC.

Both the camera and PC will have reformat utilities for the card. Once this is performed, then the write protect will go away.

try taking the xd card out and take a pic if the camera works i would try a new xd card faulty cards are pretty comon allthough i havnt seen that message before

A card access error may indicate that an xD-Picture Card memory card is in a write-protected condition. xD-Picture Card memory cards have a special protection feature to ensure that your pictures are kept safe. NOTE: During this condition, you can still use the printer for printing and saving photos from the xD-Picture Card to a secure location, such as the computer hard drive. To resolve this error, try the following:

• Reinsert the xD-Picture Card memory card into your camera and turn on the camera. In most cases, the camera automatically makes the necessary changes.
• Reformat the xD-Picture Card memory card. See the documentation that came with your camera for instructions on reformatting the memory card. Note that this process erases the pictures currently saved to your memory card. To save these pictures, transfer them to the computer before reformatting the memory card. Once you reformat the memory card, transfer those photos back to the memory card using the computer.

In order to remove the message of write protect you will need to format the xD memory card. The card has somehow become corrupted. To format the memory card - press Ok - right arrow to Mode Menu - down arrow to Card tab - right arrow to Card Setup - right arrow to Format - Up arrow to Yes and then press Ok. This will permanently delete all images from the memory card and you will be able to start taking images again.

Flashing protection LEDs indicate problem with output circuit(s). Take unit to pro/tech

Try plugging in a pair of headphones. I tried it without the speakers connected and since it found the headphones and they were OK the system came out of protect mode.
