First things first, try using connect your SanDisk memory card to the computer via a card reader. Your SD card might be experiencing compatibility issues or file system corruption. To fix it, follow the given steps:

Step 1: Type cmd in the Windows search bar. Right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator.”

Step 2: Type the chkdsk X: /f command and press Enter. Replace X: with the drive letter assigned to your SanDisk memory card. For example, if your memory card is assigned the drive letter E:, you would type chkdsk E: /f.

Step 3: After chkdsk completes, it will display a summary of its findings.

CHKDSK can only address logical damage issues on an SD card. If the SD card is physically damaged or cannot be recognized by the computer, I recommend seeking professional data recovery services for assistance. Check out this article to learn more about how to fix corrupted SD card.
