Memory Stick help... possibly fake....

**Lee524** · December 9th, 2006, 12:45

I bought a 2 GB Sandisk Memory stick from eBay (now regretting it)

I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't transfer anything to it (error: Memoy stick could not be accessed)

I can't copy anything from the pc to it (the moving bar in USB mode just keeps on moving)

I can't format (error:Format Failed(80220089))

And it shows that there's 1939MB and theres always a flashing amber light.

Any suggestions?

You're unable to format the card from windows, not just on the psp?

It doesn't sound good I must say.

When I try to format or access it from windows it says

Please insert a disk into drive G:

Type "fake memory" or "fake Memory sticks ebay" in google, there are alot of articles telling you how to tell if they are fake.

I had a fake 2gig MS from ebay. I had no problems with it at all. Speed was a little on the slow side but it has worked flawlessly for over a year. Cost me half what a real one would have.
