Couple of possible solutions for some cams. I have a Truth Cam Supercharged Blackout HD which has a name that is waaaay too long. Shortly after the warranty expired it started eating batteries even when powered off. As in new Duracells. They would last maybe a day. Obviously a short somewhere. Didn't figure it was worth the hassel of sending it back for repair. But I never had tried running it with the external battery box that holds 8 or 16 extra AAs and plugs into the bottom of the cam via a 12V input. Bingo. Circuitry for the external power source bypasses the short in the internal battery supply. Operation is back to normal. Only problem is a sometimes whiteout on pics into the sun early morning or late evening. Some pics it has taken are on General Big Game of some bear.

Failure to recognize the SD card in cams or other devices, or issues saving data, can many times be cured by doing a full format of the card in a computer, not with the cam. THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON THE SD CARD. Save whatever pics you want to keep to your hard drive or thumb drive or disc or whatever otherwise you'll never see them again.

For Windows systems:

Plug the SD into a laptop or desktop.
Open your Computer folder.
Right click on the SD Symbol/Description and select Format on the menu that appears.
On the next menu that appears de-select Quick Format (this automatically selects Full Format though that description will probably not appear).
Click Start and let the program run until notified of completion.
