Walt, check for a tiny sliver of plastic broken off from an SD card during an earlier insertion.
Some SD card brands have thin plastic ridges around the SD card's contacts. These are fragile and break off, usually in your SD slot or a card reader. Very poor design! I've experienced this in both places. A few puffs from a blower bulb aimed into the slot removed the plastic and fixed the problem for me. BTW, this doesn't happen with the SanDisk cards. Nudge-nudge. :-) On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 1:55 AM, Walt <[email protected]> wrote: > > Also, you might want to consider using something like a pair of tweezers to > get the SD card out of the K-5.
