My phone doesn't see the SD card

After updating to 2.3.3 my phone no longer sees the SD card.

When I go to settings > storage, it says the SD card is unavailable.

When I connect my phone to my computer with a USB cable, my phone just says "please insert memory card and reconnect USB cable"

I tried restarting the phone, then I tried restarting it again without the SD card and again with the SD card... Still doesn't see it.

What should I do?

I asked my friend's colegue to try it on her Galaxy S and her Galaxy S read it just fine. She formatted it through the Galaxy S and now it works fine on my phone aswell.

So I guess trying it on another phone was a good answer Slightly_smiling_Face

Ahm, this is completely off topic but I accidently pressed "Helpful Answer" instead of "Correct Answer", is there a way to change so you get more points? Dizzy_Face

I have got exactly the same problem - have tried all and also waiting a reply from Sony. Very fed up, yes the new display is very nice but no good if the SD card cant be recognised, Sony its over to you - again.:smileyangry:

I bought my X10 last year (May 2010) and it has never recognized the presence of the SD card.

There was a brief moment of joy when in Maplin yesterday.  I went to buy a new SD card, and suddenly the phone recognized the existing one so I did a quick back up but today, once more, 'no SD card present'.

A few weeks back I took the phone back to the Carphone Warehouse because the battery died and 4 weeks later I received a brand new phone, they couldn't repair the old one, but same problem as always, no recognition of SD card.

It's clearly a design fault & as soon as my contract expires next April I will be changing to a more reliable and probably NOT the latest phone!

I also had problems with miniSD. The phone also miniSD seen.Solved the problem as follows. Through the card-reader miniSD content copied to the computer. Then he took a miniSD format under FAT32. Previously copied data transferred to the Computer for miniSD. Put the card into the phone - it worked.
