[solved] Mini SD card not Read by my MP4

[lanny25]

I have an MP4 from a Chinese brand Ramos.Model RM600Le that supports Mini SD card upto 2GB.So I got a PNY Mini SD Card of 2GB for it, but the problem is that the MP4 does not read the card.Although it detects it but when I try to open it, it freezes for 5-10 seconds and then takes me to the contents of the flash memory.The memory card works fine when I insert it in the Memory card reader of my laptop.The player is basically a Rockchip.

Hello,
First - > Try if it works with another card ( borrow some from a friend )

If yes -> Sorry you gotta buy other

If not -> You better give it back to the seller

Isn't there any configuration to be made in the Memory Card like some formatting or creating a folder that the player reads?As I have seen in some other players.

Hello!
I am not a professional, but the first thing I do with a purchased card, is to farmat it. Try it, I hope it will work!

I would agree with the previous answers.

1. Try FORMATTING your card firstly.
2. Try a different card.
3. Try a LOWER capacity card such as a 512MB card instead. Some players can not detect large memory cards such as 2GB or 4GB cards.

Try that and let us know of the result.

What File System Shall I use to format the Card?
FAT or FAT32?

[admin]

Depends on the size of it.
Newer players now should take FAT32 fine while the older ones will only work with FAT. Try FAT32 then FAT if it doesn't work .

Let us know how you get on.

I have tried formatting the Card with both FAT and FAT32 but still the player does not read the card.Any other idea?

[admin]

What memory size of your card?

Can you try a smaller size card instead? Such as 512MB or 1GB card? The smaller the better as some players will not recognise large capacity memory cards.
