Unfortunatly the Olympus 6020 does not hav a dedicated hardreset switch, nor a key sequence to initiate reset. So if you cant get into the camera menu, and reset the camera from there. Or if that does not work. The camera has to be serviced by proffesionals.

might be an issue with the internal circuit board. reset by leaving battery out for a couple days.

Here is what I found on my Stylus 6020. I have the same problem. In the card reader, there are about 9 fine wire contacts sticking up that brush against the SD card when inserted. By shinning light into the empty SD slot, I found two contacts in the middle are either pushed all the way down or have broken off thus causing a card read error. Only 7 or the nine contacts are touching the SD Card. I do not have a solution for this problem other than warranty. This camera is fairly new and has incurred no damage.

OK, I had the same problem with my 3000, I took it to the beach and after taking 3 pictures it showed the "NO CONNECTION" screen. I tried all of the "RESET" steps with no solution.

After a week I tried cleaning it and noticed that there was a small blue build up inside the USB port so I used a thin soft cloth and a really thin screwdriver to try and clean the port. I turned the camera on and I heard the shutter move and finally the camera worked fine. Also, I cleaned it while the camera was on and noticed that by moving the screwdriver the "no connection" screen would pop back up.



I realized that the seal must have been faulty and allowed the sea water to seep in just enough for the USB port to "short out" and make the camera think that there's a USB cable plugged in hence the shutter will not move when the NO CONNECTION screen pops up....
Now, I know this is probably not the best method, its the only way to do it with out having to pay for repairs or replacement. The warranty is voided because OLYMPUS can always say we were at fault for not ensuring the case was closed properly.
