That can cause a problem when it is, which I inadvertently discovered. I had to put the SD card in my PC and delete the file in order to get it to work properly again. And, as Donny asked, did you remove the battery? Sometimes, especially if the battery contacts become the least bit corroded, this can cause a problem because the voltage is below operational level.

The card isn't nearly half full right now, and when it is it gives me a message ... "Tomorrow is another day" ... _________________________ t.
