Micro SD formatting help!

My GF's micro SD card that she uses for her phone stopped working, I've been trying to fix it for about an hour now. I tried adding a regedit which didn't work. When I try formatting through windows it fails is tells me the file path isn't valid then when I use "SD Formatter" it tells me the card is write protected. There is no switch on the micro SD card and the adapter I'm using does not have the lock switch engaged... help

System: i7 4790K, Hyper 212 EVO, 16 GB Crucial Ballistix, GTX 1070 Super clocked, MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition, Corsair RM 750, Corsair 750D (with 2 additional 140mm NZXT fans up top for exhaust.)

Try minitools partition wizard free edition or another disk/part utility.
