My GT-31 is now seeing my SD card as locked. The card has been fine for the last nn sessions. I tried writing to it one the computer and it worked fine. I've tested another card, it sees that as locked too. Anyone had this issue?

Maybe it IS locked. Have you looked at the little slider switch on card?

I have ensured it is not locked by writing to it on the computer. I have also tested another card (unlocked) which also shows as locked.

Is it the GT 31 which is locked?
I inadvertently locked my GT11 last week and I couldn't even turn it off!

It's almost certainly the little sensor that detects the position of the card slider.

That sensor is buried deep within your GT-31, you'll have to pull it to bits to get to it.

Good luck

I am having the same problem. Can be very frustrating when your waiting to hit the water.

I have had an improvement by blowing out with compressed air and updating the software seems to have helped but occasionally it still has to be re inserted 2 or 3 times before it works so if you find a solution I would be very interested!
