Need help!!!
So the other day i was walking to my stand when i came upon a Moultrie D55ir on the ground next to a fallen tree. After further inspection i noticed a name written on it, and it turned out to belong to another guy that hunts the property. I immediately texted him a photo of it and he said "Holy *&$#, that cam was stolen last season, please take it home with you and i'll pick it up tomorrow. Once i got home with it i noticed that the sd card was missing along with the batteries and it had some water dripping from the internal electrical area of the cam. I sent him another text telling him that it was full of water etc... and he said for me to just "trash it" or if i can get it to work i can just keep it. So last night i completely disassembled, and cleaned the cam. It wasn't that bad besides a few little rusty spots in the circuit board behind the flash LED's. Today on my way home from the woods i picked up some fresh batteries and to my surprise it fired right up and everything seems to check out ok. The problem that i am having is with the sd card not working. It says to use an sd card up to 16gb. I tried inserting two different cards that i had laying around the house and i couldn't get it to take any pics. I then hooked the cam to my computer via usb cable with an sd card installed and it said that i need to format the card so i clicked "ok" and i keep getting a message saying that "Windows is unable to complete the format". If i take the sd card out of the cam and insert it directly into my computer i am able to format the card but it still will not work in the cam. Am i missing something here? Do i have to be using a brand new out of the box sd card to get it to format? I am a total noob to trail cams, any all help is appreciated.
