One thought- I've seen this before when there is a label/ sticker on the SD card. Apparently the slot has very little clearance/ tolerance.

11-07-2021, 05:20 PM #4(Username Protected) - I had this problem a few weeks ago and pushing with my finger was not enough. It had to go into the slot beyond what the flat of my finder allowed. I used my nail and pushed it even further in and it caught. Hope that helps! - (Username Protected)

11-10-2021, 06:48 AM #9All tests seem to show that this is a slot problem. Tried tweezers, and pushing up and down to have it grab - no luck. Even tried two different sd cards. I’m running out of possibilities.
I’m going to buy a new SD card and try but I’m not holding out much hope for that. A call to Garmin might be next.
For now, I am ok - at least I can update the data from the lower slot or the Flightstream. -

11-12-2021, 05:47 AM #11(Username Protected), I’ve done that and more. Next plan is to contact Garmin and find out if there is a work around. I suspect MFD replacement but I sure hope that’s not the case.

11-15-2021, 08:13 PM #12Update. I purchased another new card. When I pressed it in, I tried to press hard to make sure I got contact and it would stay. No go. Tried the tweezers too.
As a last ditch effort, I pressed very lightly with my finger and made sure NOT to push all the way in. It stayed. I went back to the others and tried the same process - no go. At least I now have a working card in the top slot.
