My Axim does not recognize my CF card. Dell sent a replacement CF card, but the problem persists. I do not get the 'format' screen as I do when using the SD card.

check your CF pins... are they all there... none bend?

my thought at first, but all are there and none are bent. thanks

Are you sure you've put it all the way in. There's a fair amount or resistance before it actually seats in place. Otherwise, it sounds like your Axim's defective.

the CF is all the way in. so it's probably the axim. i don't want to go through the hassle of returning it, so will just live with using SD cards. thanks for taking the time to reply.

borrowed a Kingston CF card and (drum roll) IT WORKED!

this is after a total of 3, count 'em, 3 SanDisk CF cards that would not function.


there's a lesson here somewhere.....

Just wanted to say how grateful I am for the wealth of information shared by everyone here. I, as a newbie, would be lost without it. Thanks to aximsite, i steered clear of the SanDisk when i bought a CF card last week, got PNY. Otherwise, I would have bought a SanDisk by default, because that is what I got with and bought for my digital camera in the late 90's. I paid 40 something dollars for a 16 meg back then, and just picked up a 256 for $70. Bought with the Axim in mind but will also use with the camera. I put the card in my camera and it says I will get 512 pics on the "best" setting, god knows, how many if someone uses the lower quality settings! This saves me from having to download pics to a laptop or my Axim, while on vacation.

Thanks all!
