| Building the Ultimate Photo Recovery Kit |
| The first time I lost photos to a camera storage card problem was in Rwanda in 1994. I'd just filled a Maxtor MobileMax 105MB PC Card with a series of photos of an orphan boy peering through a pane of broken glass. As I was anxious to shoot more before he was put off by my hulking NC 2000 digital SLR, I'd already slid the card out of the camera before I realized that I hadn't checked to see if the camera's card status light had stopped blinking first. It hadn't. Sure enough, the card wouldn't mount on the desktop of my Powerbook 180c, and those images, I assumed, were gone forever. I'd shot additional frames of the scene on another card, but none that measured up to the moments I lost. |

A few seconds after being placed in a charger the yellow light would start flashing. That's bad news, because it means the charger thinks the battery is no good, and so won't charge it. |
