after doing some search on this forum. i found that some users are experiencing n800 smoking or corrupting their SD memory card. my 256mb sandisk sd card refuses to be recognized on my n800 now. i tried the sd card in my computer and it doesnt even recognize the sd card. i cant even format the card. anyone experiencing the same thing or have an idea whats going on? did the n800 corrupt my 256MB sd card??

at first i thought maybe the n800 card reader was corrupted. i took a kingston SD card from my treo and the n800 recognized the sd card.

thanks, mara. is there anyways i can salvage my 256MB sd card or is it toasted? my computer, nor laptop can not read the card anymore.. it just locks up

Just reformat the card and it should work again.

i wish i could format it, but everytime my computer or notebook reads the card, it locks the system up.

Try it with a linux live CD. Don't "read" the card, just format it.
