One thing I might add is use a wooden cocktail stick, it fits perfectly and wont damage any connections. This does happen from time to time without anything physically being the problem, in that case spray the contacts on the SD card with electrical contact cleaner and push it in and out of the camera a few times, this normally cures the problem

thank you so much!

Had the same error message...found this video...problem solved...LEGEND! Thanks so much for the help.

This was the problem for me. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. 6 years on and its still proving useful!

Thank you so much! It worked. The Camara store basically told me tough luck. Getting ready to go on a trip and 2 days before I leave I get that message. Your video fixed what more than 12 other videos I watched did. 😊

Thank you for the explanation. It was the same problem with me. Thanks to your video, I took a closer look at my card. You can clearly see that something on the other side is broken off. As a result, the card is also a little open. So, to everyone else: Take a close look at the card and see if the top layer can be folded up easily. Then it is also broken!

My canon is saying there's no cf card😢

I think it’d be better if you can share a picture of what the slot should look like so that we’d know if something’s difficult. There’re a few black plastic parts in there and I don’t wanna accidentally cause further damage 😂

I'll share my experience here because it's by far the most interesting video on the subject. I also had a message "no card" and I tried everything you said here. I cleaned the contacts, I blew air with a spray can, I shook the camera to let loose particles come out... none of the above worked. Then I thought that maybe the problem was to push the sd card a bit more down on the contacts, so I put a folded small piece of paper between the card and the lid... and it worked! I hope that the fix lasts but for now I'm happy I found the issue. Only thing I should find how to male it more long lasting solution, for the moment I won't remove the SD card and just download the photos with the cable :D

The paperclip trick worked a treat. Filed mine down to a point, and picked out the dreaded piece of plastic. How something so small can be such a big problem.

Thank you so much🙏🏾

V gud idea.its work

I was just about to try buying a new SD card. Thanks! This saved me time and money.

Dang. Showed up to my session and this is the problem I’m having. Had to cancel.. going to have to try this

Thank you!!! That's was exactly the same thing here... it looks like these things are made to break and you need to pay for maintenance!

Thank you! I had that happen too. But a big enough piece broke off where it bent one of the card readers. I took a pin and bent it back and now it works. Thanks again.

Anyone had this issue "no card" in a T1i? Mine is happening the same, but it doesn't seem to have something "lost" inside it...

Thank you for sharing this information MR! A hugh from Uruguay'

Same here.....ageing Sony Cybershot...I took out the memory stick.... then I got my camera on its side and gave it several less than gentle taps (Thud) on the desk. Now it works again. It's like having an old friend back. There's no sign of any plastic....yet.

Thank you so much

Thanks a lot. It worked for me as well....

This worked! Had a single piece of hair!

OMG you are a lifesaver! Thank you for making it straight forward for the rest of us!!!

thank you so much..it worked for me my canon 80D

Thanks, I smacked mine and blew some air (with lungs)... it works now (after 5+yrs thinking it was broken).

Thanks. I blow with straw to my card reader and it's help!

thank you so much

You just saved me from spending 450 eur. Thank you!

Just cut a piece of tag from a clothing and apply alcohol to it. Insert in the slot device because it’s very sensitive to any piece of dirt

I think it's the same issue with me should I open my camera as I'm not able to sse

thanks!!! helped me! Found a little sliver of plastic and bingo works now.

I just ordered an old Canon Rebel T3i. I think this is the same camera that this man has. I put the sim card in and got the same message. With the aid of a flashlight I looked in the sim card space but did not see anything. Then I blew into the space a few times, then put the card back in, and THE ERROR MESSAGE WAS GONE !! Thank you.

Didn't find any plastic but cleaning it out with a needle and then blowing some air in the slot worked.

You are amazing! Same issue and found the plastic piece. Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW I FIX MY CANON EOS 1000D with same problem I use some hair pin to pull out and thank God it's working 😚

Thanks that is a good video!

omg tkank you so much, although I did't see anything fell out but it worked

I just bought a sony a65 that the sd card slot doesn't work, but the sony pro duo slot does. I'm wondering if it's the same issue.

Is that memory card useful after that

Thanks for the video- I did not see anything in there, but made a tool like your q-tip with a sharp sewing needle- swept gently and blew air in (a few times)....Now it is working!!! Wahoo- Thank You!!!

My camera won’t read ANY SD card :(

THank you!!! im happy: i fixed!!!

I'm going to try this as soon as I get home!!

Thank you for your very interesting and helpful video! It gave me great ideas as to what to look for.

At 3:00 Look at the fingers, see in between, the very top one is missing a strip of plastic just like the one you found. if you freeze it at 3:00 it gives a nice Picture of what I'm saying,

It worked! Thank you so much!!!!!

Thank you so much for this video! Been searching loads of forums after getting the "no card in camera" error but nothing worked. Got a torch to have a look around and at first I thought there was nothing there but then I noticed a tiny bit of blue that didn't look right. Used a toothpick to dig it out and low and behold it was a miniscule part of SD card. Problem solved! So relieved, thank you for posting.

thank you so much sir! you saved me!

Many thanks for the useful tips I tried blowing cold air inside the camera and did work. My camera is fixed now Thank you very much
