Nikon S4000 problems with memory card?

Question

I've had the Nikon Coolpix S4000 for about a year now and I've recently started using 2 different memory cards, basically cause one has more memory!
The memory card usually has no problems and i use them a lot, but now its saying "this card cannot be used" I've tried formatting the card but it didn't work and the card's not locked either. The camera still works without a memory card, but obviously i have limited memory :/
can anyone help? please!

Answer 1

If you've tried multiple cards, it's likely the switch inside the camera's card slot. See the toothpick trick in the following to try to open this switch:

Answer 2

I lost everything again in the flood, don't take pitty or sympathy. Any kit's camera can get you a memory card or you can order it directly from the NIKON site.

Answer 3

Try a brand new memory card. If that doesn't work, have your camera checked.

Answer 4

Yes, the card is bad and should be trashed and replaced.
