SanDisk 4GB MicroHC card says card is dirty clean or format.

Sandisk 4GB Micro HC card was working fine in an Olympus micro SD attachment (for a camera) then stopped working. When the camera is turned on it says card dirty, clean with a cloth or reformat. I have attempted cleaning the card but its not working. I dont want to lose the photo's what can I do?

Cheers,
Jarrod

    Yes I have tried an SD card reader and it didn't work. Another alternative to recover the photo's is data recovery but that is expensive.. Anything I can do to the Micro card to make it work?

Do you have a SD card reader for the computer? if not, getting one is a good idea. you can try putting the card into your computer to copy your pictures into your computer before formatting. And if you get the card reader from best buy. if this doesn't work you can always return it.

Sandisk micro memory chip not working in my lg620g cell phone

The LG620g works with microSD cards. Your 4GB card is actually a microSDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it's electronically incompatible and will not work in this phone. You need to use microSD cards, 2GB and smaller.

When I try to synk music it tells me I cant because is write protected. How do I cleared it?

1. Be sure that the device you are using the 4GB micro SDHC card for,
is able to use this type (HC=High Capacity) of memory.
2. Check the memory card is working well on a notebook / pc with an adaptor
and/or a SD-cardreader.
3. Format the memory card and re-check.

How do i format sandisk 4gb micro sd hc

You shouldnt have to format it.Though it is possible. first check and make sure the drive is not locked. There should be a smll switch on the side of the sandisk. Second be Sure your device supports HC cards. Read This tip carefully If its your computer and it has a HD compatible slot insert the drive, open my computer , you should see its new icon as a drive. Right click on the drive and select Format from the list. But, as a reminder if your device supports the HC or XC format drive, it should work without a Format. Hope that helps ya, Gurvy

I purchased a 4GB Sandisk Micro SDHC card and inserted it into my Samsung Gravity 2... when I tried to format it it said "Error"... and after that the phone will not even recognize that there IS an SD card...

your samsung Gravity 2 wont read the HC format, there is not much you can do sorry. the SD HC is a newer format for devices in the last year or so. Older devices will not accept the HC format cards. I did the same thing! And im in the business, easy mistake. Keep it around though you'll use it soon, just not in your Samsung. Gurvy

Micro sdhc card reader will not recognize 8gig card

You problem is most likely to be the fact that your micro chip is a HC chip. HC chips have a new program that is not backwards compatible to regular sd host ports. This is a simple fix, however. If you don't trust downloading programs for it on the internet, just go to target or walmart and get a USB SD card reader, and a SD adapter if you don't already have one. The usb adapter should only be like $10 at most.

Micro sd hc 4gb wont work.

THe HC chip set for SD's and micro SD's have different programming in them and are unfortunately not backwards compatable with a standard SD host port. For you laptop, I reccoment getting a USB SD chip adapter. They're only like $6-$10 depending upon the brand. For your phone, however, I reccomend you take it back to the store for a trade-in on a standard SD chip, or for a complete refund so you can buy one from a store that carries standards.

Problem with reading Sandisk 4gig hc micro sd card in my computer and laptop

I guess you put the SD adapter into the card reader right out of the box? You first may have to partition/format it after unpacking it. Under WinXP I can recommend an utility "DiskPart" which you can start from the command prompt (Run... -> cmd). For further instructions (if it sounds to you to be the problem ) contact me again.
