Is it possible to brick a memory stick

[Gene]

I actually have a memory stick reader built into my computer. That reads my 1g card, but not my 2g card. My psp picks up my 1g too, but when i insert my 2g the orange light flashes rapidly for 20 seconds or so and then flashes less rapidly for.. well for as long as I've left the psp on. So ya, the problem is strictly with the mem card.

Also, the card is definitely legit.

When I connect to usb via the xmb, the same thing happens as when you connect the psp to your computer without the mem card.

Thanks for all the replies btw

Under closer examination, the contacts seem to be slightly scuffed. They each have a line going through the center. This may be normal since my 1g has them too, though they are not as deep.

If your card is legit, contact the makers of it. All the cards I know of have at least a 1 year warranty. If its more than a year old call them and they may offer you one for a discount, or better yet, repair yours for a fee.

Yeah, the card has to be buggered if its not working in 2 different readers and another card works fine in both.

Hope you can get a replacement.
