Hello

OK, if the memory card itself is locked, you might sometimes get this error code. All you need to do is to take out the memory card and switch the lever on the left side to the unlock.



If the error is still displayed after you did the above, you might want to try the card in another camera.

If the card works in another camera . the problem is with your card reader in your camera.

If you open you sd slot and look inside with a sharp light , you should be able to see on the left side of the slot there is a little copper or spring steel lever switch. This switch work as follows:

1. When no card is inserted / no write protection , the switch is open and thus the protection is off.
2. When locked card is inserted , the tab is depressed and tells the camera that the card is lock.

Contrary to popular belief ,the little tab on the sd card is not an electronic switch and does not physically influence the card operation itself. If you put a locked card into a camera without a sd lock switch , you would still be able to use the card normally.

It is incredible difficult to fix this switch because of space limitations in the sd card. Look into the sd slot and if you can see the switch , use a needle to pull the little tab down toward the base of the camera by about 2mm or until it works being careful not to bend it.

If this does not resolve your problem , there might be a short in the switch circuit and the camera will need to be disassembled to resolve this error. This should cost no more than $50.

allybutchart --

I searched for a more recent OS (versus Win 98), but couldn't find one... you can try this one though and see if it works:

http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/235324/vivitar-vivicam-3935-mass-storage-device-driver-windows-98-free-download.html

Since it is just the driver, you will have full funtionality, but not the vivitar extra software that usually comes on the installation disk (as long as you have another photo-editing app, you should be fine!)

If you have any further issues, feel free to post a comment to this thread, and I will be happy to assist you further!


Hope this helps!

PS - If useful, please don't forget to vote!

Either the lens is out of alignment, or the CCD or worse has gone defective. Either way it sounds like it may be worth it to just purchase a new camera. You do always have the option of repair as well.
Thanks,
