take the memory card out of the camera, on the front left side you'll see the word "lock" there is a little gray tab to the left of that (on the side) that you slide up and that will unlock it

oh my goodness! thank you sooo much for the tips about making a new slider! i am 14 and a boy in my class borrowed my memory card to put the photos on his computer. then when he returned it, i noticed the slider, and thinking it was rubbish i broke it off! now this is my dad's camera and memory card, and i just spent the last 30minutes freaking out. but i cut the plastic tip from a clothing label to fit in the card. thanks!

Thanks to Avar Linqui. I used a thick twisty-tie that came wrapped around a printer cable and cut a tiny piece off to fit in the hole. Then stuck some clear packing tape over it to keep it in place. Card is now as good as new! Have to remember this trick for the future!!

There are several additional troubleshooting items to check for the problems of "memory Card locked" or "memory card error". Not sure if this site will permit me to share the following related link. But the link outlines the additional steps to take in a recommended progression to minimize risk of damage to the camera.

Are they compatible?

This is an easy problem to solve. the SD type card has a slider to one side that you slide away from the pins to lock it's contents. Unfortunately on some of the cheaper and some sandisk cards the slider breaks and falls off/inside the card. The purpose of this slider is so that the device reading it can decide whether or not it can write to the card. Much like the write protect on the old floppies it has no physical link to anything within the card its purely to tell the device how it should deal with the card.
The fix is simple, some say that tape over the indent on that side of the card will work, but you will need strong tape and this will fail with use as it is constantly under pressure from the write protect sensor arm in the device reading/writing the card. I've found that the best fix is to cut a bit of rigid plastic about 1.5mm thick by 4mm wide by 8mm long and using that to fill the entire indent on the side of the card, either by holding this in place with a bit of electrical tape or a more permanent way with super glue.
The plastic i used was from one of those white anti theft tabs they stick to most cd's at HMV.
Hope this helps most of you, unfortunately this wont sort out software locks but should solve the majority of SD write problems.

take that sd card out of tour phone or reader turn it back put some air blow on it then show some heat to it
so that the resistance in its circuit falls down if not working now put it b/w your both hands fingers and break it apart and throw it

I have a memory card like yours and I found out how to unlock it. There's a little gray thing on the left side of your card. If you slide it down, your card locks, If you slide it back up, it unlocks. :)

you have to slide it aeway twards the "LOCKED", acuse its actualy like this:
LOCKED =>
________
-----| | | |
--
so you have to push it twards the 'locked' and in the opposite direction of the arrow.

many sd card locks are made of plastic so they dont exactly reach the other pin inside so... if you are prepared you can take it apart and have it permanently unlocked or locked but i would recommend that you see a professional (like me XD)
or simple enough get a small pin or needle and force the slider up as far as possible but that doesnt always work good luck
