Cybershot memory stick error C:13.01 message.

[sonyasim]

Can anybody in the Community help me with the irritataing message which I am getting on my Cybershot camera each time I switch it on. The message is always ''memory stick error'' and the accompanied code ''C:13.01'' is also the same code each time. There is no help from Sony Corporation and there is nothing in the handbook which gives advice as to what to do when you get this message. Has anybody come across it and what is the solution to this irritating message. Please highlight. Sonyasim

I have read about similar case/code and the reason was a defective Memory stick (due to bending some contacts were damaged), see illustration:

• Is the MS detected when you put it in a card reader and try to access it from PC?
• Can you try a different MS in your camera?

Kind Regards
