Try and clean the contacts at the memory stick slot by using a contact cleaning solution. The solution should be available with any Philips service dealer or PC shops.

Hi

Switch your camera to Setup on the control **** located on the top.

Take out the memory stick and press the reset button located inside the battery compartment.

Now switch on the camera and insert the memory stick.

If you do not get the error go to the little toolbox on the menu. Select the format option and proceed through the warning messages. Remeber you will loose all data on the memory stick.

Things should now work. If not some simple thing that sound bezare but has worked for me is pushing the memory stick in and out before the camera displays the error. Do this several times until the camera actually reads the stick and them format the stick first chance you get.

Good luck.

I had the same problem and fixed it by formating my memory stick on the camera that had the problem. It still didnt work but then I took the memory stick to another sony camera and formated it on that camera then placed it back in the camera that didnt work and it worked. Dont know why or if it will keep working but i dont get the "no memory" anymore.

Thanks puppydodger I did the cleaning thing but was a little scepticle of the jolting thing, spent the last week researching new cameras after finding out how much it was going to cost to fix it ($300+) finally decided to go ahead and give the thing a shake and sure enough - IT'S working now! Hope it lasts though.

Thank you,
LSB
