Memory card problem

51 replies · 10,651 views · Started 13 January 2004

Well, I read on here that if I formatted my MMC via a card reader it would sort out my problems. I did it and then put it into my Ngage. My Ngage told me that it was corrupted still so I had to format it again in the phone. I did all of this and now my PC recognises the card when it is in the card reader but not when it is in the N-Gage!😡

I had a few problems connecting everything up when I first purchased it but after the corrupted memory card fiasco my PC won't recognise the N-Gage at all. I'm at the end of my tether as I can't see what the problem is. I've tried re-installing the Nokia CD incase the drivers were corrupt but to no avail. Any help at all would be sooo appreciated.

I've had this problem for ages, so I sent my MMC back for a replacement which should come tomorrow , this should work. Did you just pull the USB cable out like me instead of disconnecting it on the computer, if so this is probably the problem.

No chance on returning it, it was bought second hand from a mate. I find it really hard to believe that I've damaged the card when it still works via the card reader. I just don't understand it at all.

neither do I, I think thats the problem, if your looking for cheap memory cards they've got new128mb ones 99p starting bid at ebay.co.uk

Sweet, cheers mate. Let me know how you get on with your replacement. I want to try another card in my phone to see if it is geniunely the MMC that is at fault and if, with a new one, my PC and N-Gage will play nicely together once again.

Is that updating the N-Gage firm where, and if so how do you do that?

Cheers. I ended up buying a card reader for only a tenner so it worked out cheaper doing it this way. A bit more of a faff, but it works.

Still none the wiser as to how this happened but ho-hum, you can't live your life in the past, sometimes you've just gotta move on. 😊

Did you get this card reader from a shop?

were abouts if so ?

cheers

An independant computer hardware shop in Nottingham. They generally range from �10 to �30, depending on whether you want it to look like something out of Dr. Who or Star Trek. Same horse, different jockey imo.

Format your memory just like this

Sector size: 512 bytes

Please help???
I've formatted it by the way.

I am forget password memory card

For the record, you need to format the MMC card with the FAT (not 32) file system if you are going to format it on the PC. If you format it with another file system (ie: fat32, ntfs) you are definitely going to run into problems reading it on the N-Gage. You may even have to format it FAT multiple times between the PC and the N-Gage to get it to recognize again. I had to do this awhile back...when I first got the phone. Now I know what to do and what not to, so I'm ok 😊
