Yup, exactly as the title says just randomly doesn't detect the card anymore, so I thought no biggie i'll format it in the card reader, so I tried and you guessed it nope.

Then I thought, ah I fixed my other one in my PSP..... no.

K750i? Nope.

Another W800i? Nope.

I'm fresh out of ideas HELP PLEASE!

*distant voice*

()use the warrenty()

p.s. otherwise re-format the card in fat16 mode and see if it can detect that! can your pc detect the card also?

Happened to mine the first time I tried to transfer anything to it, so went back to Orange, and as it was only 4 days old, they sent out another brand new one, this one is able to transfer stuff, but hates bluetooth connections to headsets, so will wait for a software update to fix this.

aww I know you must be sad, but a sledgehammer can turn this into this within two minutes!

if you haven't got a sledgehammer readily available then I guess we should try and help you fix your problem

I had this strange problem, and for me it was a stupid solution! When you insert the card into your PC do it very very very slowly, sounds silly I know, but as soon as you here the noise like *ding* when windows detects it (if that happens if not I'll have a think about that) stop pushing it in, then see if windows see's it!

with me, for some stupid reason, my card reader wouldn't recognise the card if it was fully pushed in. yet it saw the card if it was all but a few millimetres in very confusing but worth a try I guess!

I heard there was ones with dodgey firmware, mine being one of them R1N035 I think, looks like it'll have to go back

Thanks for trying to help defensive, but that didn't work

Been into the o2 store and they said I should sent it back to o2, who will issue me with a brand new phone card everything, so I suppose it should be O.K.

good good, at least the warrenty has got your back covered then! bit annoying thought not having a memory card for a few days until your new one arrives but suppose at least its getting fixed.

don't do it! well I wouldn't anyway.. if they want the whole phone back, make sure they send you a replacement for use during the time they have yours. as its a manufacturing fault and not a user fault they should do this.

let us know how it all goes anyway mate.
