HP 935, 5.1mp digital camera "locked". Looking for a solution to"unlock" the camera.

I have an HP 935, 5.1MP. If no one can answer this question, I will
have to throw this camera in the trash can. HP wants $35 just to say
Hello to me. This is like throwing money down the toilet. The only
thing that they want to talk to me about is selling me another used
(refurbished) camera for just a few bucks less than what I paid for this
one. And yes, they are telling me to throw away this camera. Some
customer service!

The camera will no longer take pictures anymore. It's _neve_r been
dropped, and has been used approx 4 times during a two year period. The
camera now tells me that the SD memory card is locked (which it isn't).
A brand new memory card produces the same results.

Does anyone know how to "unlock" the memory cards? I need a fix for
this camera.

Thanks

 

I just got an SD memory camera myself. I see an option in the review
screen to protect images on photo by photo basis. Seems unrelated to
whether the physical card is locked or not.

Just a thought,

Andy

 

you DID try flipping the little "protector" to the other position on
the SD card, didn't you?
