Disk protect message on FD87 -- How do I fix this?

anonymous Posted Apr 02, 2004

Need help with the "disk protect" message

Has anybody else had this problem? Everytime I stick in a disk, used or new, the "disk protect" message comes up on the Mavica FD87's screen with a flashing disk in the corner. I've tried formatting disks, different brands,etc. but still can't get this message off. Every now and then, I can put the disk in and turn the camera on and off about 5 or 6 times and it will work for a minute. It won't even read disks that I've used in the past with pictures on them! Please Help!

    Possible easy fix! Take a matchbook & gently jamb it into the middle of the floppy door, holding it open. With lens facing down, gently tweak the silver tabs in the corners of the floppy drive. Even though you are applying tension in the opposite direction, this has repaired problem....
