You probably have a bad memory stick

SOURCE: Sony CyberShot DSC W50 internal memory error

Before anything else try to reset all from the menu for the internal settings. This may get the camera back to where you will see the format option.
Make sure you format and delete all that is in the internal memory. This may be due to a full or corrupted memory space internally.

Because the camera can work with the memory stick, it seems that there is some problem with the memory internal space.
Try the format as mentioned above. Some cameras will only allow you to delete all in the internal memory.
Go to the menu and look for format the memory, and remove the card so that the internal memory will be defaulted.

SOURCE: Keeps telling me to reinsert my memory stick

I will forward a link to a page where you can get the information about this issue.

http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=C166567

Also please check whether you're using a Compatible Memory Stick with the Camera.

It's not recommended to Format the Memory Stick in the Computer.
The Memory Stick should be Formatted in the Camera only, other wise such error messages can occur.

Please try using a different Memory Stick and check whether the issue persists with the other Memory Stick.
This is to check whether the issue is with the Memory Stick.

SOURCE: have a DSC-S930 camera inserted my memory stick

Hello Mate,
you may double check how you inserted the memory stick, it may be in wrong position.
other than that, you can insert this memory stick into your computer and see if you can open it from there. and you can also format it from your computer and then test it again with your camera.
Best Regards,

SOURCE: Says to reinsert memory card & card is in

i have the same problem..
I have a Sony Cybershot DSC T70 and it keeps saying "Reinsert memory stick" whenever I turn on the camera or slide down the camera lid. Also, whenever I try to view the pictures on my laptop it shows "Please reinsert the memory stick" something along those lines. As I have been researching for the solution, I would have to format the memory card. However, I wouldn't want to lose the pictures as I just took many as from the holiday last week. The only problem is the memory card, I tried using another memory card and it works fine with the camera. There is nothing wrong with the camera.\r\nCan someone please help me how to solve the memory stick problem? It would be great. Ty.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W370 says reinsert memory card. We have reinsert the card correctly but it continues to say that. Is the camera beyond repair?

you'll make sure that you camera is not the problem is when you insert other memory card that is working on other cameras. if that doesn't work at all try to look for any foreign object that block memory card insertion contacts or you can buy a contact cleaner spray for electronic parts and spray it on the memory card holder part of the camera.

Error message: Reinsert the Memory Stick"

The problem is with the memory card. It probably just shorted internally and is no longer useful. The amount of memory is not the problem, as I used a 4GB card for a long time and my card finally went bad. You will just have to get another memory card and MAYBE find someone to be able to retrieve your data.

Transferring photo from computer to memory stick

Many cameras will not let you write to the card. Try using a card reader, which will make the memory card appear to the computer as a separate hard drive.
