SD card not detected

besimcha — Wed, 05 Feb 2014 07:32:07 GMT

my LT15a doesn't detect the SD card. I tried the card in a different phone and it gets detected so the problem is in the phone. What's the solution?

Is it a new card?Have you transferred large files to it and unsafely unmounted?

I downloaded the program but my PC won't recognize my phone and tells me to put in an SD card....

Don't you have a card reader?I do not think you will be able to low level format it otherwise.

I did the low level formatting and the phone still doesn't detect the SD card. The card works in a different phone so I guess the problem is not the card. What next?

Get another card,as I have told you,compatibility makes everything.

Do I understand correctly that it will detect a new card? Compatibility? I have been using this one for about 4 months until it stopped detecting it but if a new card will save the phone I can do that.

I am not telling you to buy other card,just test one(I believe you can get one card from your friends).Maybe your phone needs to be checked at a sony service.

I've tried other cards. The phone doesn't detect them. I guess my last resort is a sony service. Thanks for your good will anyway.
