I managed to open my card and remove the button that was stock inside. I then reassembled the card with cyanoacrylite glue. It goes in the camera fine, but it still says it's locked. And it has no lock button. I'm going to try to unlock it on the computer as described by Juan Buhler the other day. Paul On Mar 8, 2007, at 4:17 PM, mike wilson wrote:
