Installing a Sandisk 4GB memory card in my Samsung Digimax 130 camera produces an alert "card error" on the LCD display. Can I fix that? Connecting to my PC's USB port doesn't allow me to take photos or format the card, either. I get the "card error" alert no matter how I configure my connections to the camera or a card reader.

The Digimax 301 uses SD cards. They should be available at just about any electronics or office-supply store. Make sure you get an SD card 2GB and smaller, and not an SDHC card 4GB and larger.
There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Other causes include problems with the tiny slide switch on the side of the card, or the electrical contact switch internal to the camera. The problem may also arise from simple formatting problems if the card has never been formatted in the camera (note that this will also erase the card). Troubleshooting tips for this problem may be found at this link.
The Digimax A7 may not be compatible with "High Capacity" SD Cards (SDHC). If this is the case you will need to locate an SD card that is 2GB or less in size as anything larger than this is a high capacity card.
The A402 is designed to work with SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While SDHC cards will fit into SD devices, they will not work. You'll have to stay with SD cards, 2GB and smaller.
Unfortunately, you can't. The D53 works with MMC and SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and will not work. Since this is a hardware issue, it is not something that can be changed with a firmware update. You need to use cards 2GB and smaller.
make sure there isn't a limit on the memory size for the camera, some models have a limit. also make sure the lock switch on the memory card isn't in the locked position: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1102
No. Your
camera will accept a maximum SD card capacity of 2GB. It simply isn't
capable of handling anything of a larger capacity and in particular is
incompatible with the more technically advanced SDHC cards.
Your fix is to either replace your camera with a later model or to stick to using SD cards with a maximum 2GB capacity.
The reason why is because that particular camera does not support memory cards that big. Samsung only guarantees compatability up to 512MB, but the max I have ever heard working is 1GB. If you do buy one, make sure it is a sandisk card as these have been tested and guaranteed to work in that camera. Lexar may also work, but for sure 4GB is to big and is unsupported. Hope it helps.
