I bought this reader and a 2GB card last year and have had no problems with either the reader or the card until now. I've also used several other cards in the reader with no problems. However, a few days ago, the reader became write protected. All my cards work fine when used in my phone, camera and MMC slot on my laptop, when inserted into the reader and then into a pc via USB, they're all reported as write protected. I've tried this on a Vista laptop, an XP desktop and a Mac - they all report it as write protected. I've also reformatted one of the cards using the MMC reader on my laptop, but as soon as it's connected via the reader, it's once again reported as write protected. I've also tried formatting in whilst in the reader using the command prompt and also whilst in safe mode - but it fails reporting the disk as write protected. I guess this proves that there's no fault with either the cards or the pc's and therefore must be the reader. Is there anything else I can try, or do I have to conclude that the reader is dead and I need to replace it?
Cheers,
John |
