I just bought a SanDisk 512 MB Memory Stick Pro from a trusted camera dealer. One showroom guy told me it would not work in my camera, a second guy told me it would work.
What do you know, it doesn\'t! So I searched the internet and found your Eraser Solution and got pretty psyched until I tried it. It seems the contacts you mentioned have to be touched by the eraser. Well that just is not possible because there are plastic ridges elevated above the contacts protecting them. The eraser just gets chewed up without any touching or cleaning of the contacts. I have tried a Q tip to get in there as well and it does not work either.
When I put the stick into my Sony DSC F707 and select SET UP, it shows the error message and an EXIT button, then I am able to bypass the error and bring up the Format selection, but when I choose Format OK it does nothing but bring me back to the error message.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated otherwise I will have to mail this item back to the camera dealer.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi, Jim,
the first showroom guy seems better informed.
I encountered the same problem with a brand new SanDisk 1024 MB Memory Stick Pro.
The compatibility list on Sony's page
http://www.sonydigital-link.com/memstick/compatibility/compatibility.asp?l=en&f=dsc
tells me that any Pro-Version is not compatible to DSC-F707. One needs at least DSC-F717. My troublesome memory stick works fine on a Cybershot DSC-V1 - so I think the guys from Sony are right.

I have exactly the same problem with the same camera. when I try to format OK it just brings me back to the previous error menu.
Do you know of any soluttion??
