Title: Help w/ SD card issue I've never seen before?
Post by: bparcher804 on October 27, 2013, 07:52:49 PM: Never seen this before, wondering if any body has seen this and fixed it? Or not? Pulled a card today that had been soaking since mid July. I get in the computer and it shows 1126 photo icons but only shows an actual photo for the first 426. Tried opening the card in few diff programs and all the same, everything after the 426th pic says "can't open this file" and the 426the pic is half pic half grey screen? Did camera take a dump? Gonna set it up in yard tomorrow w/ diff SD card and do a function check. Are the rest of the pics recoverable? Any input greatly appreciated!

Sometimes cards get corrupt when viewing in a digital camera then put in a tcam without formatting.

Also the card can just go bad...I have had that happen before too.

Same issue I've had in the past. Low battery won't allow the cam to record the photo correctly.

Post by: Dave of TDG-Farms on November 09, 2013, 02:51:10 PM: For one reason or another (like mentioned) those pictures are all corrupt. Might try to take it to a store with a SD card reader for photos or maybe a Best Buy and see if the geeks cant get it to open.
