Corrupt Micro SD

b1ack1otus · December 11, 2013

Hello,

I bought an ADATA Micro SD a while back and used it on my Galaxy S4. Had no problems with it until yesterday.

The phone started displaying error messages about the disconnection of the Micro SD even though the Micro SD itself was still intact in the phone.

Things I tried:

- Formatting the SD card through the phone. (it worked for a bit and then it wasn't detected at all after)

- to format through PC, but was not detectable.

- inserted another SD card in phone to see if it was the phone, but it wasn't as another SD card was detected.

Now, I am in the mindset that the ADATA Micro SD is corrupt since it can't be detected by my phone or PC. Is there anything that I can do or is it considered garbage?

It is a 32 GB SD card and my PC wasn't able to detected, even through disk management.

I've already contacted ADATA and I'm just waiting for a response by them.

Anyone ever experienced this?

Had plenty of dead micro SD's as they often use low quality flash unless you pay for the expensive chips.

I had some problems with my current 32GB MicroSD. I eventually got the computer to detect it through adapters and many computers and was able to format it. A few things to check/try:

- Try to find it and format it through the command line. Type 'format X: /q' and replace the 'X' with what the drive letter should be. The q just does a quick format, a full format shouldn't really be necessary

- Adapters aren't the most intuitive things. There's probably a small switch on the side. Try flicking that on and off and trying different configurations when trying to get your computer to ready it

- If you aren't using an adapter, use an adapter

Yeah, it was no good.... I sent an email to ADATA and I think I will just RMA it ...
