No, it won't solve the problem. I got a new Axim with 2003, put an SD card in (one with one of the 'bad' serial numbers) and the Axim was asking me to format it after just a couple of days. I sent the card back to Lexar.

also, every sandisk SD denomination from 64MB to 512MB has experienced this issue, it's not just a 256MB problem.

other brands too, except SimpleTech, Panasonic, etcetera.

happycheesecake has more specific info, but basically if the card was made in China or Taiwan there's a good chance of it crapping out. the bad serial numbers look like nn9999nn where n is a letter and 9 is a number. usually the letter combos are like AR, LR, LQ.

all of these bad serial numbers come from china or taiwan.
