Had a little trouble with typing step 7 there bud! =P

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

I have a problem... there was a little black thing, kinda like a card in a camera, for storage, forgot the name, and it came out when my mother ripped out my headphones.... any fix?

[TheFPSVideoGamer]

@MrIntoxicatedPenguin your camera came with a "mini SD card" sadly theres no fix unless your camera has a "built-in storage" if it dose not , i recommend to buy a new "mini SD card" here the price list for the (GB) or (MB) it can store and it cost

512mb mini sd card - 5$

1GB mini sd card - 6 to 9$

2GB mini sd card - 7 to 11$

4GB mini sd card - 8 to 12$

There now go google them on ebay or amazon.

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

@TheFPSVideoGamer Not sd card. This was in the USB Port.

[TheFPSVideoGamer]

@MrIntoxicatedPenguin well the only thing that can fit into a usb port is a USB 2.0 Male A To USB mini male B (5-pin)

These are 1-2 dollars you are lucky there are inexpensive.

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

@TheFPSVideoGamer I know that! There was a thing INSIDE a usb port... that came out. Now it wont work anymore.

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

@TheFPSVideoGamer It. Was. PART. Of the USB Port. So, you understand NOW? Look inside a your usb port, take whatever is out of it atm (at the moment) (Mouse, Headset, etc.) And you will see a small black chip. That came out.

[TheFPSVideoGamer]

@MrIntoxicatedPenguin Oh...How did that fall out?those things are built with it sounds like me you have to send it to the manufacturer for a repair , theres no other way to repair the usb port.make sure your camera has warranty.

[TheFPSVideoGamer]

If you camera dosen't have warranty , you will have to pay for the repair.

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

@TheFPSVideoGamer IM NOT TALKING ABOUT A FUCKING CAMERA!

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

@TheFPSVideoGamer This small chip like thing is in the usb port. It was taken out 1 time when I got my usb headset ripped out. Now, look inside your usb. You will see a small colored chip ( it can be any color, Ive seen black, white, etc.) that got ripped out. now. It . No. Workie.

[TheFPSVideoGamer]

@MrIntoxicatedPenguin was it the front usb or the back?

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

@TheFPSVideoGamer what do you mean : front or back?

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

@TheFPSVideoGamer WHAT DO U MEAN: FRONT OR BACK!?!?!

[TheFPSVideoGamer]

@MrIntoxicatedPenguin every low-end pc has two slots in the front and 4 - 6 usb slots in the back.

just please tell mean which one got damaged.

[MrIntoxicatedPenguin]

@TheFPSVideoGamer LOL. No it doesnt. Im on laptop stupid. =.=

[fireflyz1000]

It say "Device media is write-protected" how can I solve this?

[TheFPSVideoGamer]

@fireflyz1000 your DVD drive dose not support putting any files or burning on the DVD.

sadly if you want to fix this "error" you will need to buy a new DVD drive.

USB drive unusable, unformattable, and reporting 0 bytes capacity

I completely hosed a few USB 2.0 8GB Flash Drives at work when I deleted the original contents of the drives, installed the software that had shipped with some older drives, and then tried to use them. This process rendered the drives completely unusable and unable to be formatted.

The problems

Clicking the drive letter in Windows Explorer returns the following error message:

Please insert a disk into drive X:.
