ARE THERE ANY SD CARD ERROR EXPERTS HERE?

I've owned the NX1000, the NX300, and now the NX500. And all the way up I've experienced sd card error pro0blems - and I know it's not the cards nor a compatibility issue. Is Samsung particularly susceptible to sc card errors due to some design weakness? I was going along fairly well with my NX500 for about a year and suddenly, when i boot the camera up in the morning I get constant error messages to remove and to reinsert the card, over and over again - about 20 times in a row - and then, suddenly, the camera recognizes the card and all is well for the rest of the day. I installed the most current firmware update and that didn't help. Is it a motherboard problem? One of my patented quick fixes is to remove the sd card, lick it, and put it back in. Been doing that for years and it works 99% of the time. But not now.

Any ideas?

I have experienced the problem only with microsd cards in adapters (given up on them, now use only full size ones). If you are experiencing it with full size cards, maybe try contact spray (wd40 or similar) instead of spit? If you live in a very moist area or seaside things like this happen.

Having been in the electronics repair industry since the '70's, I'd suggest that spitting on your SD card and then using that to introduce moisture to the innards of your camera was exactly the wrong thing to do. It is probably a credit to the manufacturer that the equipment survived this long with such mal-treatment.

Electronic contact-cleaning products are available, I'd suggest you use one.

All I do is format the card in the camera and that sorts it

Wow - that's strange?

I have never experienced any type of SD card errors with either my NX300, NX30, and NX500.  This is a new one on me?

I have an NX20 and an NX200, no problems with either.

I have a Kingston that doesn't work right on my NX1 cameras, but it is working flawlessly with the NX500, so it stays there.

No other issues among a few NX cameras and a lot of different brands and models. Preferably I use Sandisk and Samsung, but Delkin, Lexar and micro SD with adapters have worked well through the years.

You lick your SD card? Are you serious?
