There probably is one, even if they don't mention it (one of those consumer protection laws). Proving it, is the hard part. I keep receipts, but after a few weeks, it's hard to find the one that you want (for small items... I file receipts in the manuals that come with larger items, those are much harder to lose). > Many other blogs including those that found the physical problem to be > in the laptop's reader slot, say they fixed it by doing some solder > job on the slot's writelock sensor mechanism so that writelock is > always disabled, and you can format the card. > I am not so keen on doing that. I can understand that. I still wonder if the sensor is mechanical, or optical. I've had optical sensors that fail when ambient light is too much for them (just try servicing VCRs under bright light, and you have to cover optical sensors up to get the deck to do anything, likewise for people trying to use some VCRs in daylight). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
