The SD card has a little slidey switch on it that Write Protects the card. It's got knocked on when you dropped it.

Slide it back and try again.

Maybe it knocked the slidey write-protect thingy on the memory card?

There is a little sliding tab on the memory card which activates the write-protect.......

Have you checked the side of the card? There's a little write-protect tab there, apparently.

Perhaps that could be the problem.

Happens a lot to mine. The tab was very loose. Finally got round to gluing the tab today as the superglue was right next to the PC while I downloaded some pics.

Eagerly awaiting the "help, my SD card won't eject" thread.

It's broken and will never work again. Please send the old one to me - I collect broken things.

Do you have a small tab on the bottom that you could adjust, perhaps?

Oooooooh. That's not good.

If another card doesn't work then I'd suggested the little switch inside the camera that "reads" the position of that tab is jiggered.
