Have you formatted this memory card?
I hope you've not formatted it yet, since the formatting process always makes things worse.
Here are some ways for you to save back your inner data and this memory card:
1). Do not format this memory card till you've saved all your stored data back.
2). Do not add any new file on this memory card in case that anything new would rewrite your original data.
3). Do not randomly select a data recovery program. In your case, an efficient data recovery program always means a lot. Therefore, you can try to apply an unformatted memory card data recovery freeware to get back your player data successfully:

4). Do not save the restored data on the same memory card in case of data recovery failure.
5). Do not forget to format this memory card after the data recovery process so that you can check whether this "not formatted error" problem could be resolved.
Note: Never try to save everything important on only one hard drive or memory card next time.

When iam opening memory card in nokia 3110c it is saying memory card not formatted operation failed.please guide me what to do

Hi, problem can solved.When a memory card says formatted operation failed,it means the memory has been affected with VIRUSin it,thats why it's not given you access to get into it.
What you will need to do is to format it.

You can use your phone to format the memory card by going to the option of the memory card and click on format memory card.
Also you can use a PC to format the memory card by using a memory card reader. insert the memory card inside the card reader and connect to your PC, click on my computer, you will seethe memory card icon displayed, right click on the mouse for options to come up, and click on format memory card and you done.

Note: When trying to format and it does not format the memory card, that means the VIRUS that affected the memory has damaged it totally, that means you will have to get a replacement memory card.

Thanks for using fixya....

My nokia 5300 camera is not working.As soon as i open a camera mode it says camera on standby and operation failed

Switch off the phone, remove the memory card and boot again without the memory card. Now try accessing the camera, hope it's working now. I would suggest you to scan the memory card or format it (i recommend formatting the memory card so that it'll not fail).
If the problem persists even without the memory card, reset your phone's settings to Factory Default by going to the Settings > Restore Factory (open the settings, press up key once, you'll see the "Restore Factory") using the code 12345. Your phone will automatically restart. Now try again with camera.

If both the above methods don't help out, your only option is to flash the phone or update the firmware. But I don't recommend do these yourself, a small mistake or incomplete will damage the phone or will create more problems. You can visit any service center or any mobile repairing center and get it done with a small fee.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Mobile startup failed . contact the retailer

hi,
Your phone's memory card must be infected with virus or has some fault. Please remove the memory card and try to start the phone again. If it goes through, please back up the data in your memory card and format it. In most cases, this procedure solves the "Phone start up failed. Contact the retailer" error.
I'd advice you to format your phones internal memory as well, it will flush out any errors present. save your "phonebook" data somewhere and Make sure your phone's battery is fully charged if not plug the charger in and proceed. NB: interrupting this process might render your phone useless. So, be careful.

To format press *#7370# it will prompt you for security code, enter it and the phone will reboot. Your phone will be reset to "factory settings."
