My camera was taking great pictures & I had just uploaded my photos & replaced the card in the camera when I had a message on my screen saying “Memory card error”. I have tried other cards, looking to see if the metal/gold colored wire is in place to connect with the card, etc….I have also used canned air to blow-out any dust, dirt, sand, etc….from the card slot. Nothing has worked…Other ideas other than replacing the card reader slot ?? I LIKE the photos I got from this camera & would like to try & repair it ! Please help ??!! Thanks ~~
Hi, The answer is no. The SD Card Assembly is physically attached to the Main Board. You would have to replace the Main Board. The cost of that repair is probably more than just buying a used SX40. Like you said, you swapped out other cards, checked for connectivity issues, used air so it does sound like it could be the board.
