Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

Hi,
Received a new viking 128mb card yesterday seemed to be working ok however
whilst loading a movie on to it this morning one of the kids switched the pc
off at the mains by accident ! my problem now is that the card reader can't
see the card at all & when i stick it in my 6600 the phone only gets as far
as the nokia screen & then freezes arrrgh....so i have no way of formatting
or getting any access to the card.

Help Please !!

I second that, sometimes my 9210 also cannot format a "probably faulty" MMC
correctly.. but my kodak camera formats it no problem..
