8GB microsdhc card suddenly write protected

The lock Switch is usually by the top left side of the SD cards or the Adapters.

 if its broken u won’t see it.

incase it is broken it will become “Write-Protected” by default.

If there is no Physical damage on the card and u had it in genuine retail package of sandisk when u first bought it, then u can get it exchanged from Sandisk as long as it is under warranty, and u don’t need the receipt as long as it is not from website like ‘e-bay.com or buy.com’…
