BR46 Posted December 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2019 I bought a electronic picture frame for my mom and went through all the old family photos I could find. Here's the problem that I'm having. I have about 90 photos on the flash drive and it was running in the electronic frame. Well I found 3 more photos and added them to the flash drive and now the electronic frame can't find the files. When I put the drive in the computer it works. When I put a drift flash drive in the electronic frame works fine. What did I do to screw up my flash drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted December 14, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 14, 2019 I'm not sure what happened but you might copy all the pics back to your computer, format the flash drive and then copy all the pics back in one batch. You may have to erase any pics in the frame's memory as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The electronic frame is no longer reading the flash drive. The frustrating part is it worked before. I have reformatted the drive..reloaded all the photos several times. For some reason it stopped working with the 128GB drive but still working with the 64GB drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc2000 Posted December 14, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 14, 2019 Does it work with the 128GB drive with only a few photos on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted December 14, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 14, 2019 The frame may not be able to handle the bigger card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted December 15, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 15, 2019 Many times, problems with the digital photo frame can be fixed by resetting the frame. Check the frame’s user guide for specific instructions on resetting your frame. If you can’t find any such instructions, try unplugging the power cord, removing batteries, and removing any memory cards from the frame for a few minutes. Reconnect everything and press the power button. Sometimes, pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds also will reset the device.

jsharr ★ Posted December 15, 2019 Share #8 Posted December 15, 2019 Have you hit it with a pedal wrench? Have you cussed at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that it doesn't have any moving parts. I can fix the transmission in your car with half my brain tied behind my back but this little electronic frame is kicking my ass. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pedal wrench ? is still the recommended tool for the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted December 15, 2019 Share #11 Posted December 15, 2019 Duct tape. And if the pictures don't move to the next one, may need some WD40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted December 15, 2019 Share #13 Posted December 15, 2019 I didn't feel like reading the other replies... did you check the picture format to see if it is supported by the electric frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can't figure out is the flash drive was in the frame and working. I think the drive out of the electronic frame and add 3 more photos off the same computer that I was working on and now I can't get anything to work.

Is there a reset button to take it back to the "in the box" defaults? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted December 15, 2019 Share #18 Posted December 15, 2019 Read the specs on the frame, the card is probably too big. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea of duct-taping a photograph onto the frame was excellent. It will allow him to change the photograph anytime he chooses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
