I want to insert my micro SD hc card into the tablet,but the card never clicks into place. I know I am at least inserting it right side up and right end in because the tablet starts to scan the card but if I release my finger the card pops out. Is there something inside that I am supposed to remove first? I saw someone mention something similar for their transformer prime on another website.

And you are pushing it a bit into the slot with, say, a fingernail?
I had to use a credit card to get it in and it finally clicked.
Feel kind of silly now

Hi,
I received my new Touch pro and it worked fine for a day, i noticed that it would stop reading the card. i would press the back and the thing would read again. take the card out and put it back in and it would work. then it stopped working all together. No matter what i card i put in it does not read at all.
I put the card into my PC to test and it wont read, i put in another card and it reads fine in the PC but not in the phone..
does anyone know of any utilities that i could use to repair this card.. maybe the FAT table got screwed up.

if your PC read the card, so i think not the card is damaged
i think your diamond pro isnt work well...
no..
I have 2 cards.. a 8 gig and a 1 gig.
the 8 gig worked fine until my diamond pro broke it. it will not read in the phone or the PC. my 1 gig wont read in the phone but works fine in the pc. the card reader in the phone is now dead and the 8 gig is now dead. when i put the 8 gig in the pc it will come up with a drive letter but with a 0 file size and when i click on the drive it tells me to insert disk.
so does anyone know of a program to repair the SDHC?
firstly, thats a Micro SD card, not a SIM card.
Secondly, please could you give more details on make/how old/type of the SD cards trying to be used.
Chances are it was still trying to write when u pulled it out, so it needs formatting.
if you format it make sure it is the right format!

I figured that you noticed after my second post that the subject was wrong..
anyway.. its a 8gig SanDisk about 8 months old. also there was no chance that it was trying to write when i pulled it out. if you look at my first post you will see that the card reader on the phone is damaged and im looking for some type of program to repair the Micro SDHC card...
I am not going to format the card.. I need the information off the card and Ontrack wants 100 to look at the card and 400 to recover the information. This card worked fine with my other pone until i got the diamond with the bad SD card reader.
There's no such thing as a Diamond Pro; only a Diamond or a Pro. As you're talking about removable memory cards I assume you mean the Pro, in which case you're in the wrong forum and you're likely to get more constructive feedback here.
You guys are killing me.. What does that have to do with the fact that I have a bad SDHC card and want to know if there is any application out there that could help me out. If nobody has one to help me then I guess that’s just the case. You guys really get tied up on minute detail rather than the situation on hand. I will edit the subject again, and maybe it will get moved over to the Raphael area..
Thanks for your responses..

Might be a daft question but, have you tried chkdsk?
If that doesn't work how about a/ looking at the card with parted (or similar) in Linux or b/ finding a hex editor that will read the disk 'surface' directly.

Same difference, sounds like Mugglesquop got it right to me!

i will try my linux box in a few minutes..
let me clarify..
i would go to file explorer and it would see the card.. i would try to go to a directory and ht would not see the card and only show my device. i would take the cover off and press on the back, turn the phone over and it would see the storage card again..
so technically if it had a loose connection and while browsing the directories it lost connectivity that could have possibly simulated the removing the card while it was writing issue.
Eh..
Thanks guys.. the linux box could not mount the card.. Ill send it out for recovery.. :-(
Try following the links from this Artemis thread for hints to recover any salvageable data.
I guessed, along with others, early on in this saga that writeback cacheing could be the culprit.
The 'fix' that eventually solved the problem tends to suggest that hardware, (bad contacts etc) wasn't the problem IMO
The end result is the same though, the FAT or mbr gets messed up.
How about fdisk/mbr on your SD (research first though please).
HTH

Funny, I was just searching Google for a fix or repair software for my SDCH card that my Fuze broke and ended up here (my favorite website). I guess is a phone realted issue?
i know this isnt the first of this post. people dont use search anymore. but i had bought an 8gb sandisk card for my fuze when i bought the thing. shortly after the card went all stupid on my like everyone else. i was told by att it wasnt an issue with the phone, it was the sd cards. att replaced it for free, quick and easy, no questions asked. see if you can get it changed out for you where you bought it.
Helloworld.
My symptoms: the device spontanely stopped to detect memory card (the card itself is functioning - checked already, as well as plugging another card into my pola), however the device reacts (wakes up) to the memory card insertion switch status changes (present/absent).
At a glance - all components on the M/B seem to be intact, however I didn't made it yet to unsoldering the card holder and watching inside for bent/absent pins.
Can someone provide me with a clue - what components on the polaris M/B are responsible for communicating with the SD card, and which ones of them I need to check to make sure they function properly?
No clue about that in "classified" service manual from wiki
Am I missing something?
I'm seeing the same thing - curiously problem also occurred on the 6th...
I'd be interested if you find a solution (I'l come back and post if I do)

So, finally got my hands on that one polaris I noticed lying around.
The problem itself was in card-reader slot. I never found the replacement for the slot itself, so I de-soldered it and soldered a micro-sd card right into place using small pieces of old ATA-166 cable lying around. Turned out not as good-looking, as it could be, done by a professional, but still does the job very well. Now device is functioning properly
However, the connector, that was originally on the M/B got 10 pins on the sides, 8 of which supposed to be connected to the micro-sd card. Maybe some1 here know why the hell there is 10 of them and what are 2 extras supposed to be connected to? Also, is the 8 pin supposed to be connected to the switch that represent card absence/presence?
Just before soldering you should try SD Formatter 2.0 for SD/SDHC (sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/) It almost saved my patience !
REPLACE SD CARD READER WITH SD CARD (Soldered)

I dont believe it is possible... but if you REALLY DID IT... then youre really an incredible INSAN3 Genius!!!
PLease give me further details. Since I opened the Polaris to replace a broken LCD screen the SD card reader broke apart... now I'm using my polaris with the (small) internal memory only (sigh!)
...maybe it's right time for a new phone, but while It is still not broken at all... I would like to try to fix the SD in the way you tell us you did it!
Received my tab and everything seems to be going great except when I attempted to insert my Micro SD card. The card never seems to click in and I have tried 3 different cards.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a known malfunction?
The card goes in quite far before it locks.. I needed to use a mechanical pencil point to get it ti seat well.
I just had the same issue, then was able to get it to stay in by having my daughter use the tip of her long fingernail to push it in. It finally clicked & locked. I hope this helps!
Well you have just made me blush, problem solved and boy do I feel stupid.
Thank you, I was about to contact woot which would have put a damper on my day.
Hello Everybody
I'm newbie here , I have a probleme with my Asus eee pad TF101 , when i plug the Microsd in the micro sd slot it always jumps out but after a lot of tryng i succeed , then i have to set it in by an adhesive tape to prevent it from jumpin out.
After days it jumps out again then i have to repeat that again ......
First excuse my English
Second the country (morocco) i live in is not supported by asus warranty , i have just bought it from a third party seller safe and new and never been unboxed .
Third , i want to share my problem just in case .
Finally i have another request : is there any other option to buy android apps apar from android market ? Because my country is not supported by android market .
Please I need some help , i will be gratefull and thankfull
Thanks a lot
Soufiane
Are you sure you are pushing the microSD card in the slot deep enough? If I don't push using my nail, my card also jump.
The card slot have two positions, locked and unlock, maybe by some previous unsuccessful try you left it locked and the card jumped, I have faced this problem before, all you need to do is to push the card in the slot again, since it's locked, the card won't go in, but It will unlock and you need to push again and the slot will hold the microSD.
Yeah, I hate that too. By the way, does it mess up the usd card if I mess up and don't push it deep enough?
Shouldn't mess up the card if not pushed in all the way, it just won't work. Wonder what the record is for these cards flying out, I've had mine go 4-5 feet
First Thanks a lot for your help i really appreciated it, I tried so hard to push it in, but it looks like the resilience spring doesn't work well, i changed the microsd card but it didn't work either.
On my tf300t the sd card slot will no longer hold the sd card in, when you push sd card into the sd card slot there is no "click" followed by the sd card being locked into place, spring seems to work ok as I can shoot the sd card across the room lol. If I hold the sd card in place it will mount ok.
Does anyone know can the entire sd slot be replaced ? Is it a modular thing or solder into the a board ?
If it is replaceable where can I order the replacement part (aside from asus assuming they sell replacement parts) ?
The tablet is about 1.5 years old, sd card slot should last longer very disappointed in quality of tf300t.
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Thanks for the link, I took a look at the Step 2 photo, and it appears the sd card slot is attached to board, and that board can be removed and replaced, appears to be several ribbon connectors.
Now just have to figure out where to get the part.
Thanks

The slot is soldered onto the daughter card which also controls the touchscreen. It can be removed and replaced, but some skills are required. Otherwise, just buy a used one off ebay. Turn the service switch off, or disconnect the battery BEFORE touching anything inside the tab. Otherwise, you risk frying components. After replacing the daughter card, you might have to reflash the firmware to make it work with your current digitizer. Be patient when working on it.
