Help SD card problems...

[WFMMK]

Hi guys I registered just for help with this annoying problem. So I bought my Xperia Play on ebay and the guy said it was brand new. Anyway so I open it up pop my sim card in then I slide it open to try out some games. So I click on Bruce Lee then it tells me insert SD card so then I think to myself "did the guy take the SD card" so I end up opening the back cover and looking for the SD card slot and to my surprise it had an SD card in it.

An 8GB card so I didn't know what the problem is. So I went over to storage and tried to mount it, it then tells me "SD card is blank or has unsupported filesystem" so then I click on that to format it and it does nothing just brings a little loading thing then the same notification that it is blank.

I finally got my brother's phone and popped it in and formatted it through the pc through his phone and then popped it into mine and the same problem again. I'm at the end of my rope, I've contacted the seller but I'd really would like to be able to fix it myself and keep the phone.

Thanks for any help and sorry for the essay lol.

Any help would be appreciated. I sent a help request to Sony Ericsson and then this forum post. I've been doing some of the things I've found on the net but still end up with the same result.

you have to put the cover back, otherwise the phone senses that the cover is off and automatically unmount the sd crad.

i hope i understood ur problem correctly.

I think you have to put the back cover on, i had a problem of the phone mounting my sd card and then automatically dismounting it; but the moment i snap the back cover on everything is back to normal.
