Wizard won't read any memory card =(

[lanr912]

Hi everyone =)

I recently bought a Wizard from eBay and I was really beginning to like it when I found out it won't read any memory card :(

I e-mailed the seller and he said everything was fine when he sent it and I didn't want to return it unless it's really broken. I suspect it isn't really broken because when I insert/remove the miniSD into the slot, the lights turn on so it knows something's there but when I access the Memory menu it says that the memory card is "Not installed".
I've tried soft reset, hard reset, other memory cards and the result is always the same.

I'd appreciate if someone could help me with this =)
Thanks in advance

Try the following:

First, make sure your cards are properly formatted FAT (NOT FAT32). You probably need a card reader and computer to do this.

Second, get a flashlight and look down into the slot. Check for debris, dirt. If dirty, you will need to disassemble it (look at wiki for link to a manual for this), clean the contacts, GENTLY raise them to ensure good contact with SD card.

The card works on another pda so is this really needed?

Will try to disassemble it during the weekend and will post the results soon =)

thanks for your help :D

EDIT: I've followed the Service Manual to disassemble the pda and I found that I can't access the memory card contacts. Does anyone know how to access them?
