Hi,

Have you checked that the memory card or the card reader switch is on write protect?

The card reader might have a stuck WRITE PROTECTION SWITCH in the card slot. Peer inside the slot and you can see on the left a copper lever switch. This is the write protect switch. If it is out of warranty you can open it open and move the switch away from the wall of the reader, this will disable the write protect mode.

Cheers.
