Make sure the little plastic strips between the contacts aren't disintegrating. I've seen that happen, and it can jam a card. Take a look at the switch as well to make sure it isn't protruding excessively. SD cards are fragile. Paul -- Original message -- From:

I think, Jack, that when the card got stuck you forced it out, which probably wiped out the camera's card cage push-push latch mechanism. How/why the card got stuck, I dunno. I've accidentally washed cards twice, and both are still in service and working fine. No matter, it will soon be
