QUESTION: will the x-ray machine for carry-on luggage at an airport damage an SD card? DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM: I recently went out of town and put both my CanonPowerShot SD600 digital camera and my Treo 680 smartphone through the x-ray machine for carry-on luggage at the airport. The camera worked fine for 3 days, but then I got a "memory card error" on the camera and no pictures could be taken after that. Thinking that the SD card in my Treo phone was still sound, I tried it in the camera and got the same error message. Now back at home, I tried putting both SD cards in my card reader but the computer does not recognize either card. It seems suspicious that the only thing in common with those two cards that could explain the problem is that I put both through the x-ray machine at the airport.
We hadnt had any case like this before. i will try to research on your problem as this is the first time too that i have encountered such problem.

It has been 8 days since I first posted my message, and nothing came to me after early1234's initial response. I appreciate her willingness to "try to research" the problem, but without a followup message, I have no idea if she proceeded beyond her initial indication of a willingness to help. Please therefore cancel my request for help. I'm willing to try a different forum (or medium) for assistance.
i am having that same exact problem.. mine also went through the xray machine. And it worked fine for a couple days and now it wont load to my pc or work in my camera
