Wizard is not recognizing SD storage card - 2GB. Why?? Please help...

[chkto1000]

Hi,
I am a newbie so please be patient with me.
I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum, so I'll post the same post in upgarde as well - please forgive me if I made a mistake.
I got 2 wizards off eBay (seperately), and they seem to work fine.
I upgraded to wm6.5 after reading your great instructions. It seems that I succeeded in that.

However, I tried to put mini SD cards but they are not recognized, and I'm tearing my hair out. I started with 4GB cards, but they were not recognized. I returned the cards, after reading that the wizard doesn't support more than 2GB. I got now 2 GB cards, but they are not recognized either.
What's going on here? is it the upgrade, or what?
Is there something I should have done - a patch or something?

I find it hard to believe that the fault is in the phones, since it's the same with both of them - I believe it's a small chance that both of them are faulty in reading cards.

Please help - I am desperate.

Thanks!

Hi there are the cards SD or SDHC if so....... they wont work.

I do believe this card is simple SD - it is not written SDHC.

Any ideas?

try to format them, i think filesystem must be fat or fat32

OK - got it now! Sometimes the solutions are the most primitive ones... Sometime simple force can do the trick - why haven't I thought of that before?

Well, the card was sitting fine in the slot - clicking and making the turned off phone to react and turned on. However, I decided to simply add pressure to the card and see if there's any difference. So.... I stuck a little piece of plastic in the slot. Magic: hard-reset, and than it was recognised and works perfect!
Is that stupid or what? I did it on both 2 phones and it's working. May I suggest it's a real defekt in the design of the Wizard...?
