SD Card Write Protected

[Flo]

Old Scandisk 2GB SD card that I removed from my TT 720 has write protection installed by TT. How can I remove it? So far, I have inserted it back into the TT, deleted all the files and reformatted as a FAT32 file through Explorer while it was loaded in the TT. Then I inserted it into my card reader and I cannot use it, nor format it using Explorer as it is still write protected. Can you give me any advice?

Not by TT as such but by somebody.
When you look at the 'golden' contacts with the chamfered part to the left, you'll see a little white thingy on the right edge.
Slide it up, opposite of what it is right now.
This is the Write Protection built into SD cards.

Let us know if it worked OK for you.

Cheers,

Thank You

Since I was using a micro SD in a SD adapter, I never even thought of that as the solution. Thanks for your help.
