| Nov 8, 2012 at 1:34 | comment | added | OMA | Thanks for your explanation. Well, AFAIK it wasn't cleaned, so it might be the repeated inserting which "cleaned" the card (though it apparently looked fine all the time). I'll try cleaning first next time an issue like this happens. Thanks for the tip. | |

I also tried 2 different SD card readers with no good result. BUT, something odd has happened. After lots of tries, my sister put it back in the camera and it miraculously started working again! Not only that, but then she put it again in the PC and all pictures were readable!!! I can't understand what's happened here. How can a card go back from 100% bad sectors to 100% readable?? WTF?! | |
