Been back to the retailer?
Reputable guys or back street boys?

It was a pretty nice looking shop/Internet cafe, it is down the road across from the Japan restaurant.
But , maybe I learned my lesson. It´s a 2 gb SD x50 card.
So should I go back to the shop , and demand my money back , or a new card , that works ?
---- I have to say, i´v have had the ripe off feeling a couple of time. But what the F , i got money - and take it all in.

Bit of advice.
Don't 'demand' your money back. Just go back to them and explain that maybe you bought the wrong card. Take your camera or laptop with you, smile and ask if they can help. Keep smiling.
. They will probably (hopefully) get you the right piece of kit.
Good luck...

,
' Before anything else, please format the card either in your PC or camera.
This helps in most cases.

Yer , is kinda F´d - when i pop the card in , my laptop stops for a moment and in "my computer" the card appears and disappears in a second. All not right then, I go to "devise manager" under pcmcia , the card is there , but no info on who made the card .

As said, try formatting it in the camera first.
If it needs to go back they should replace it under warranty if you politely explain to them by showing them the laptop and camera.

Did you follow our advice?
Getting a Thai girlfriend to go in there to complain will probably not get you anywhere.
