I get error C:13:01 in SONY cyber short camera. PLEASE GIVER REPLY HOW TO REPAIR.

For my case I tried using the Rubber technology to clear the oxidation and also inserting and ejecting 20 -30 times, Both the option failed and i was really cursing the machine. Luckily I tried to change the DUO ADAPTOR, which costs very less. It worked, I do not have any more pbms for now.

I just had this error in my T7. It's a Sandisk 512MB MS Pro Duo. The other Memory Stick Duo reads fine. I tried the Setup and format using the camera but it still says Format Error. (C:13:01). I wanted to use Bad Copy Pro but couldnot use it because the drive itself doesnt show up in My Computer page. Tried using my printer, but it also cant be read. Any advice? Tried rubbing, inserting 10-20 times, rubbing the metal sides using cotton. No use.

Hi again - Knock on wood my F717 is still OK. I noted later on that a few were commenting about airport X-ray scanners and their suspicion of them causing the Memory STick problems. I found this particular web site which has tested various digital storage cards with airport X-ray devices and has found them to have no adverse effects on the cameras or storage media. Here's the address. When you get there, look to the right on the download menu for the test results. It's a PDF file. http://www.i3a.org/itip.html

OK....I have a Sony F717 that's just about three years old and it has given me loads of great pictures. A couple of weeks ago I bought a SanDisk 1gb Mem Stick Pro Duo with the adapter to fit the F717's slot. Awesome! 400 hi-res pics on a little card! Worked great! Last night I came home to the dreaded C:13:01 memory stick error message. I tried everything that I found as advice on the net to fix. Reset, removed battery, connected USB cable, removed and replaced card several times, etc. No luck. Took the cam and card to Circuit City where I bought the card and tried the card in another Sony and it worked fine. So, it's my camera. Fortunately I bought a four year warranty with it. I should have it back in a month. Knock on wood.

Everyone: I accidentally found out the bumping thing worked. But after a while, it stopped. Same w/reinserting memstick several times. I tried the eraser--no good. I used an Exacto blade to clean the contacts--no good. Since the cam is not working & Sony would want mondo money to fix their own mistake, I found a site on how to disassemble the cam and check for loose wiring--no loose wires. I even took OUT the memory stick drive and disassembled it, cleaning the contacts and bending them a little just to make certain they would make contact w/the counterparts on the memory stick--no luck. Look, this is an engineering prob that Sony refuses to acknowledge. If they would fess up and offer a recall, fine. But since they won't, I see it as major problem with how the company thinks about its self image (they can do no wrong) and how little value they place on good customer relations. I strongly urge you to do as I am doing and never buy another Sony product. It's not just about the cam, it's about the company. We will never have a voice unless we join together. Individually, we mean nothing to Sony. We would be foolish consumers to continue giving them our money.

i have a 256MB sandisk and now niether my camera nor my computer recognizes it ive tried many programs to reformat it hoping it'll wrk bt nothing wrks. any help please?

Hey, The format option under the setup menu got the memory stick working again.
