'write Protect' Problem

My sz-14 suddenly started to display "write protect" message and I can't figure out what the problem is. I can't view any pics on my PC and it won't take any pics any more. What's the problem and how can it be fixed ?

Based on your description, the device displays the Write Protect problem because the SD storage device may be set to write protect/lock. To resolve this issue, you have to remove the write protect of its SD storage card. These are the links to the tutorial videos.
