Should I remove the memory card from Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8" when I take it to cash converters tomorrow? . I can't remember if there was one in it when I bought it.

Cuba, whenever I sell a camera on Ebay, I never include a memory card as I always keep them for use in other cameras.
I suppose it depends whether you have any other devices that the card can be used in.

Incidentally, it's funny you should pose a question about memory cards, as I have just been talking to a pal of mine about cards.
We both bought our first digital cameras in 2003, having used film cameras for many, many years. At first we thought they would just be a bit of a gimmicky sort of thing, but how wrong could we be !
In the last 11 years, the quality we get from digital cameras is quite unbelievable.
My first digital was a Canon Powershot G2 with a resolution of 4 megapixels, which was quite amazing for then. To cater for the 'massive' files I assumed the camera would produce, I decided I need a bigger capacity card than the 256mb card that came with the camera. As CompactFlash (solid state) cards, in those distant times only went up to 512mb, I decided to buy an IBM 1GB Microdrive (miniature HDD), which incidentally I still have. It cost . . . . £175.00 ! ! !
Nowadays we buy 16GB CompactFlash and SD cards for around £15.00 or less.
Amazing.

My guess it didn't have one when you got it.

If you mean an additional SD card that was inserted to give you extra storage then yes.And then do a factory reset on the tablet to wipe any 'sensitive' data off it

In the few months I've had it, there's nothing sensitive to worry about, it's just that I wanted to be sure. Think I will removed the card, without looking, I think there is a micro card in.

Like all others have said, remove any flash memory then do a reset, then check that any data that you put on there has gone prior to getting rid.
If I junk any PC I pull the hard drive and remove any memory. Now got a collection of hard drives to use in my drive caddy all useful external storage.

depending on the size of a card they can, as suggested be used again and also as a usb stick.  just insert them into the slot at the back. |
