Rebel T6 - Won't Turn on With SD Card Inserted

mesocute333 — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 18:18:07 GMT

hi, I just bought a refurbished Canon Rebel T6 off KEH. It works OK, but when I put my SD card in, it won't turn on. I take the SD card out and the battery out and then put the battery back in, then the camera will turn in again. I'm so confused, the SD card works with every other device I have just not this one. It's a 128GB onn. brand (like target brand) has anyone else had this issue? what kind of SD card works with my camera? thanks!

Is it a full size card or micro with adapter. Canon's have issues with micro cards.

The obvious suggestion is to try another card.

A 128 GB card is really overkill, and the camera may not like it. Use cards of 16-32 GB, which will hold thousands of photos, a lot more than you should keep on the SD card.

But the 128 should not keep the camera from turning on. Call KEH for possible return of the camera.

When you turn on the power with an SD card installed, does it red LED turn on or flash on the rear panel somewhere?

Have you checked inside the card slot?

yes, it does flash red once.
