MY compact flash card keeps reading “inoperable” in my Nikon coolpix – is the camera faulty or just the card?
I gave my Grandfather my old Nikon Coolpix 775 camera – its been working fine but he phoned me up to say that everytime he tries to take a photo now it comes up as “memory card inoperable” – can anyone advise if he just needs to buy a new compact flash card or is the camera fit for the bin? Cheers, any help appreciated 
The only way to be certain is to try a new or different card. It could be that the card was not inserted correctly and that’s the problem.
