I took my card out last night to load some images, and left it on the desk overnight.
This morning I found the card on the (carpeted) office floor. I picked it up, popped it back into the K5 and turned the camera on so I could format it. Turning the power on, there is about a 3-second pause (no lower-right access light as is normal upon power-up) and then a "card error" message. I turned the camera off, and upon removing the card, I noticed that it was VERY WARM. Repeating the cycle yields the same results. There are no external signs of damage - but I guess it's remotely possible that my office chair rode over it on the carpeted floor. Has anyone else ever seen a failure like this? How is Sandisk to deal with in terms of checking out warranty coverage? I may or may not have the packaging and receipt from 2+ years ago when I bought it... -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
