SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

My camera is not detecting memory card. The model is Samsung sl620

It could be either the camera or the memory card. Try a different memory card. If the different card works, then likely your card is bad.

Try a different card (you can buy one and return it if that doesn't fix the issue).

I need the manual for the SL620, is it on this site?

No, but you'll find the Easy Manual and User Manual listed at the bottom of this page on the manufacturer's web site:

I have a Samsung SL620 digital camera with a Lexar 4GB SD card. It plays great videos and I am able to view them on my computer. However, when I put the SD into the USB of my Samsung LN46C630 LCD...

Probably because the tv doesn't have the correct circuitry to play videos. If you have a VHS recorder connected to the tv, you could download the video to a tape and play it that way. I have a Dish Network HD DVR. It has a usb connector allowing me to download to the DVR and play slide shows and videos.

Remove the battery, wait for 20 seconds and replace it.
Check that you are not in Replay mode.
Now switch on and see if the system has reset.
If it will not reset, go back to the dealer.
