Compact flash card gone bad?

WyoBob · 08-26-2009, 07:12 AM

I have a Nikon Coolpix 2100 2.0 MP camera. The 256 MB Lexar Compact Flash "12X" card no longer works. I get a "This card can not be used" message. I've used this card for several years and it worked great. How common is it for flash cards to "give up the ghost"?

It seems like all flash cards are now much larger in capacity. Anyone know if these cards will work in an older camera?

Thanks, WyoBob
