micro sd card not working
 

I'm trying to get a 32GB micro sd card but my current 8GB doesn't seem to work on my N900. It works fine on my PC but my N900 will not reconize it.

This has come up quite a few times here already - you might find help if you search around a bit.

tip: google for something like "site:talk.maemo.org sd card not recognized" - much better than the built-in search of these forums.

For starters, use the "dmesg" command in X-Term and see if you can see the card mentioned in the output - might give you a clue as to what's going on....

The 8GB should work fine. Can you try to format it on your N900, or does it totally not see it? I have a 32GB card, which also works fine. Does any card work on your N900?

Re: micro sd card not working
 

It's the only card that I have and it simply doesn't reconize it at all.

Re: micro sd card not working
 

Um, try formatting it again on your PC and then try it again.

Just to understand, did you buy a 32 GB card without having tried a card on your N900? Did the 8 GB card ever work on the N900?

Anyway, I predict the 32 GB card will work for you. You might look at the slot on your N900 and make sure everything looks ok.

Using your computer change the formating of the card..

Try some contact spray on the card.

Re: micro sd card not working
 

Still nothing works :(

Re: micro sd card not working
 

You will probably find it is the clip holding down the sd card and is not pushing it down properly to the contacts.

The older the N900 the more chances you could also have lost the tiny magnet located under the clip stand on the rear, check that also ok.

Did you put the back cover on, after putting the sd card in?

n900 will not recognize any sd card unless back cover in on.

Re: micro sd card not working
 

U mean the magnet for the kickstand has something to do with the sd card?

Re: micro sd card not working
 

Yep because if it is not there your sd card will not be recognised.

Re: micro sd card not working
 

Absolutely. I didn't bring up this possibility because typically the user would say the card USED to work till recently, or something like that. The OP seemed to be saying that this card NEVER worked.

Re: micro sd card not working
 

**** it ended up falling off and i had super glued the kick stand back. I had jsut bought this cover too. I really don't feel liek buying another one off of ebay from england again.

Re: micro sd card not working
 

there's a probability that your SD card if broken and need format
and don't write the same post in all sections !

Re: micro sd card not working
 

they had the same problem... in most of cases its not broken

Re: micro sd card not working
 

Thanks by this tip.
Comfirmed that you need the magnet in the kickstand to sd card be recognized.
I lost mine months ago and have to use another kickstand to copy files from sd card.
