I have a SanDisk SDHC Card 8GB, that as of this morning cannot be detected by my laptop (Acer) and previously have had no issues. Further, I inserted the card back into my camera I had taken it out of (Nikon) and my camera shows a message of “this card cannot be used”, when it is loaded with pictures and has been used for almost a year now. Can you help me troubleshoot or tell me where to take it to fix it? Not worried about the card itself but the pictures are irreplaceable! Thanks so much!
I have a Sandisk 4GB microSDHC card which was working fine for the last 1 year. Suddenly, it is not been detected by my mobile phone nor by my PC. Is there any way I can retrieve my data ? I have checked the Microsoft’s Update, but it is of no use.
I have an 8 GB mobile microsdhc card with adapter. It reads fine in my phone - but not detected in my HP PC. Can’t seem to find any solutions. Any suggestions? Thanks
As you can all see there is not a certain answer for this problem. Obviously the problem is on the SunDisk’s side and there is no admission for it. They manufactured something that does not function as it should (covering all the areas that it was manufactured for that is), and that is all.
They should replace all these cards but the do not want to.
Firstly, the 32 microSD card when introduced to Windows will invariably invoke the “Do you want to format” screen. Don’t do it. Continue on without formatting and everything will be fine.
I have done some testing on the “unrecognize” issue and have come to some conclusions:
When used with an adapter device that actually is physically inside the device’s frame (computer or mobile, etc.) or very near to it, such as with an SD card adapter or a USB adapter, the card will become unrecognizable within a few hours.
When used with an adapter device that is connected via a cord where the card is physically away from the device’s interior frame, such as with an MP3 player or other USB corded device, the card will do just fine for long periods of time.
From these observations, I can only conclude that this little guy is overheating when it’s in proximity to the computer or other mobile device, and somehow shuts itself down. When this happens on a Windows device, the only thing that will fix it is to uninstall the port input device (such as the SD card reader slot) using the Device Manager, and then wait about 10 minutes for the card to cool itself. After this time, reinsert the card adapter and have Windows re-recognize it, no re-boot needed btw. You could probably do some manual cooling to the card to speed up the process, but I haven’t tried that.
Memory card not deteced by mobile or computer,
suddenly today my memory card is not detected in my mobile and in system…what can I do?..i need all my data’s from my card.Its sandisk micro SD card/ .
RMA it you’ve obviously got one from the faulty batch, as for your data the only real option for recovery is to give it to a specialist company who’ll charge you the earth. But try sticking your card in the freezer over night that may allow you to access it and retrieve the data, bear in mind that cards do fail sometimes and if your data is important keep it backed up.
