Corrupted memory card problem on E61i

[ares623]

---

I am using the Nokia 256MB microSD card which came in the box.
My microSD card got corrupted today.. i charged it last night, plugged it in and switched it off. In the morning it got corrupted after booting..
When I first safely removed it (pressing power key and selecting "remove memory card"), and put it back in, everything was fine, like it was not corrupted. I was even able to back-up my images to my PC.
But after another reboot, it's corrupted again..
So i formatted it on the phone, it formatted fine i think, but after another reboot, it is again corrupted! What should i do?

I just tried booting the phone with the mc out, and putting it in after boot.. It got read fine. Then after a reboot, it is corrupted again. I'm starting to worry that the memory card isn't at fault here.. though i really don't know if the card was read fine since it is empty at the moment, i just formatted it.

Have you tried formatting it on a PC and choosing FAT as file system?

try that...if still no luck, try upgrading the phone that should fix it 99% sure...

How do i reformat it on the PC?
does upgrading the firmware void the warranty?

Some are suggesting to try a different card, but right now I don't have that..

just tried a hard reset (*#7370#), then formatted the card through the phone.. it seems to be fine now. I hope it stays that way.. gonna be posting here if problems arise.

try to remember the last application you installed maybe that caused the problem.

i didn't install any applications for the last 2-3 days before this happened..
although the last app I installed was a cracked version of some app(i think), but i doubt that it is what caused this..

mailexhange may have something to do with it? didnt you say you just set it up then all those problems came up?

upgrading using nokia software updater will not void the warranty. since formatting the phone worked...then upgrading it would have also worked.

note that if you made a backup of the whole system before formatting the phone...and you resort the whole system back from the backup, the problem might creep up again. after formatting the phone test the memory card by rebooting again and again see if problem shows up...if not, then thats the time you upload the backup. if problem comes back after that then you got a bad backup...upload only the phonebook...try that...
