My Camera can not read the card.

"have you tried cleaning the card slot from the outside first?

you could try following one of the guides to open the camera and take a look at the pins. I couldn't find it specifically on the guides to the right but I'm sure it's possible. You may then be able to lift the pins so they make better contact with card. You may not need to replace them!

I've just dismantled 2 kodak cameras without a guide so give it a go!"

I got a hunch that it's not your pins. Something tells me that you just bought a brand new 4GB "SDHC" card. There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". Some include trying to use a SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Others include problems with the tiny slide switch on the side of the card, or the electrical contact switch internal to the camera. The problem may also arise from simple formatting problems if the card has never been formatted in the camera (note that this will also erase the card). Troubleshooting tips for this problem may be found at this link.

"I took apart the camera and found the pins are in proper alignment so I wipe the pins with sensor cleaner, put them back together, and insert compact flash card and reformat the card.

Lo and behold, the camera is working again and hasn't give me any error messages since, knock on wood.

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.

I very much appreciate it."

i had the same problem but it will take the 518 card but not a normal one
