I had 4 card readers that would not read the sd micro hc card, with the sd adapter that came with it.

Had to go to best buy, pick up a San Disk 4 in 1 reader. It recognized the full capacity of the card right away.

Just make sure you get a card reader that supports "SD HC"..


I put on a couple of movies and it worked flawlessly.

A trick to get the 4gb card out of the ppc6800 is to push it in all the way back and let it spring out, giving you enough of an edge to pull it out.

looking around my office for a magnifying glass as i type.

Its very hard to read, but i think its the same serial number.

Do they give individual serial numbers to each card or do they just get a batch number, like 500 have the same number or what not?

Right now i have about 90% of the card full, its benchmarking as fast as my 512mb card give or take 1-2%

I just ran pocket mechanic and the read and write test is fine.

hmm.

Now.. what to do?

shuld be individual serial #s....

im going to take this card to a shop that has a large lit up mag glass.

Im not 100% positive that the tiny mag glass i used worked well enough.

If it is a fake would i have been able to test and fill it up with no problems?

Or will the thing implode after a while?

btw the back of my card has a tiny sticker that says made in china.

The serial numbers should absolutely be different. The serials are unique for each model and card. If you goto the SanDisk website, and look at a shot of their 4GB product, it looks different. There is no arrow, and the Class 2 certification logo is in a different spot. As for your experience with the card, yes, it will most likely fail. A friend of mine bought a fake 2GB Ultra II CF card, and it worked for a while, formatted, etc. After a couple of weeks, he lost over 150 pictures as the device began to fail. So, if you can, please check that serial to see if it matches mine. It shouldn't.

I just had a co worker confirm that the number is the same.

sh¦t, so its a fake?

I called back and asked for a refund after I shipped mine back yesterday.

went to get a card reader. working perfectly. got over 2gb on there and its reading it all. no problems here!

Is your serial number the same?

no idea im too blind to see it. but the card works so until it doesn't i have no complaints

my friend read it for me. he thinks it says

0708902340D

well id hate for your to get all cozy with it and them it snaps... id take care of it now before you get too attached to it...

All of the hassle I see you guys going thru made me run to Verizon and buy the 4gb there and pay the 99 dollars

My current card reader cannot read it but It is working great on the phone. I will go out and get another card reader. My serial # is different....

I got SanDisk to take the card back for me, they even send give you a free UPS label to print out. All instincts tell me that the serials should all be different, afterall, this does constitute a "serial" number. I dropped it in a UPS drop box, and so hopefully in a few weeks, I'll have a REAL card. It just didn't smell quite right.

who did you talk to at sandisk. id like to talk to the same person if possible to minimize hassle

nextweb/amazon better pay my return shipping.. the damn thing isn't even here yet..

Received my Sandisk 4gb a few days ago (but I wasnt home to use it ). I first put the 512mb from the sandisk into my computer's built in reader and it basically freezes windows explorer until I take it out. Then put the 4gb and it reads fine. Perhaps it is just me but my music seems to be syncing faster with wmp than my 2gb mini did. Oh well. New release of Coreplayer... Off to try..
