not let me take pictures just comes up withwrite protect on the screen,but if I take the memory card out it will work any ideas?

The SD card has a little slidey switch on it that Write Protects the card. It’s got knocked on when you dropped it.

Slide it back and try again.

The memory has a write portect tab on it which had been knocked on with the shock?

Maybe it knocked the slidey write-protect thingy on the memory card?

There is a little sliding tab on the memory card which activates the write-protect…….

Have you checked the side of the card? There’s a little write-protect tab there, apparently.

Perhaps that could be the problem.

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this already, but on the card there is a little write-protect switch….

So, no-one knows? STW finally fails.

Is it broken?

Maybe you need to replace the crown race… anyone know if postierich’s shockproof camera comes with one?

Happens a lot to mine. The tab was very loose. Finally got round to gluing the tab today as the superglue was right next to the PC while I downloaded some pics.

Just 😆 at this thread!

Eagerly awaiting the “help, my SD card won’t eject” thread.

It’s broken and will never work again. Please send the old one to me – I collect broken things.

Maybe your memory card has Aids…?

Did we get to the bottom of this??
I’ve been up all night worrying about it.

Do you have a small tab on the bottom that you could adjust, perhaps?

Thanks for all your responses!
Flicked the tab on the memory card and still no luck not got another to try!

Oooooooh. That’s not good.

If another card doesn’t work then I’d suggested the little switch inside the camera that “reads” the position of that tab is jiggered.

Internal Hamster failure …
