memory stick problem

[poorlittlesparrow]

have now got 2 sticks of sony 1 gig pro duo and they both dont work
my sandisk 1 gig works fine, but the sony ones are not recognised wether i use my card reader or going through a psp - is there a known issue with these does anyone know?



if this belongs in psp forum, then i apologise

Where di you get them from? ebay fakes maybe?

[poorlittlesparrow]

were off ebay, but someone with 3000 feedback so trustworthy i would imagine?

[handyguy]

Someone posted that 85% on those on ebay are fakes. But no one showed how to identify as such. 3000 feedback? Are those 100% positive?

Wont help your problem, but Id never buy off someone with 76 negatives - What were they left for?

[poorlittlesparrow]

he has had 4 negs in the last 6 months

nothing to do with memory cards not working properly
check him out yourself if you wish - ebay user name solutionsprinters

Have you contacted him? Wouldnt do much good, has at least 3 negatives for lack of communication, and his reply - "I never got any emails from you" every time, where theres smoke.......

[poorlittlesparrow]

i have communicated with him and never had a problem getting a reply to be fair

This is an example of the convenient statistics that people like to make up on the spot. So how would that someone know that 85% are fake? :saywhat:

These statistics are as reliable as those people who claim to "have a friend that knows..."

well the latest on this is as follows!!
sent the memory stick back last week got a replacement today - and this one doesnt work either!!!!
is there any way to tell wether the memory sticks he is providing are copies?
