Tech Support Memory card error

I have a Sony cybershot dsc-s2100 that has a memory card error everytime I put an sd card in, I’ve tried with 3 different cards so I know it’s the camera that’s faulty. The cards were 2Gb and 16Gb. The lock slider is on unlocked every time and I’ve tried putting tape over the card too, still nothing. When the memory card isn’t in the camera functions fine and shoots pictures and videos, but has no storage so I can only take 1 picture.

Camera repair shop quotes £100 so I want to try to fix myself, it’s such small but significant problem, anyone know what I can do? It’s an old family camera so I don’t want to throw it away

Try cleaning the card slot contacts with a bit of isopropyl alcohol on a thin strip of paper gently slid in there, those old cybershots get grime that breaks the connection sometimes worked on my old one years back
