Hi Surender,
Firstly confirm whether the SD card is genuine or not. Also, if the card is new then format the card completely to avoid any errors.
If the card is fine and still not working then try to use it on different devices or fix it with some repair tools like chkdsk or attrib using a Windows computer.

When a SanDisk memory card (128GB) is not working, it can be due to several reasons including physical damage, file system corruption, or compatibility issues. Here are steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix the problem:

  1. Check for Physical Damage: Inspect the card for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks or dirt on the contacts. If dirty, gently clean the contacts with a soft, dry cloth.
  2. Try Different Devices: Insert the memory card into different devices (cameras, smartphones, or computers) to see if it’s recognized. Sometimes the issue is with the device rather than the card.
  3. Use a Card Reader: If your device has trouble recognizing the card, use a dedicated USB card reader and connect it to a computer. This can help determine if the problem is with the card or the device’s card slot.
  4. Check Disk Management: On a computer, open Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) to see if the card appears. If it shows up but isn’t accessible, it may need to be formatted.
  5. Run Error Checking: On Windows, you can right-click the memory card in File Explorer, select “Properties,” then go to the “Tools” tab and click “Check” under Error checking. This can fix some file system errors.
  6. Format the Card: If the card is recognized but not accessible, formatting might fix the issue. Backup any important data first, as formatting will erase all data on the card. In Windows, right-click the card in File Explorer and select “Format.” Choose the appropriate file system (exFAT or FAT32 for cards 128GB or larger).
  7. Use Recovery Software: If data on the card is important and the card is recognized but data is inaccessible, consider using data recovery software like Recuva or SanDisk RescuePRO to recover files before attempting a format.
  8. Check for Compatibility: Ensure that the device you are using supports the card’s capacity. Some older devices may not support higher capacity cards like 128GB.
  9. Update Device Firmware: Sometimes, updating the firmware of your device can resolve compatibility issues with the memory card.
  10. Contact SanDisk Support: If none of the above steps work, contact SanDisk customer support. They may offer further troubleshooting or provide a warranty replacement if the card is defective.

By following these steps, you can often resolve issues with a non-working SanDisk memory card. If the card is physically damaged or completely unrecognized, professional data recovery services may be required.

@Surendraraikwar967 ,If your SanDisk 128GB memory card is not working, follow these steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Check the Physical Condition

  1. Inspect the Card: Carefully examine the memory card for any visible signs of damage such as cracks, bends, or chips. If you find any physical damage, it may be the cause of the malfunction.
  2. Clean the Contacts: Sometimes dirt or debris on the contacts can prevent the card from functioning properly. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol to clean the gold contacts on the card.
  3. Insert into Different Devices: Try inserting the memory card into another device (e.g., a different camera, smartphone, or computer) to determine if the issue is with the card or the original device. If the card works in another device, the problem may lie with the first device.

Step 2: Check the Card Reader

  1. Test with Another Card Reader: If you’re using a card reader, try using a different one. The issue could be with the card reader and not the memory card itself.
  2. Check USB Ports: If you’re using an external card reader connected to a computer, try plugging it into a different USB port. Sometimes, USB ports can fail.

Step 3: Verify the Card on a Computer

  1. Insert the Card into a Computer: Connect the memory card to a computer using a card reader or by inserting it directly into a card slot.
  2. Check for Recognition: Open “This PC” (or “My Computer” on older versions of Windows) or “Finder” on Mac and see if the card is recognized.
  3. Check Disk Management (Windows): If the card is not showing up, right-click on “This PC” and select “Manage.” Go to “Disk Management” and see if the card appears there. If it does but is not formatted, you may need to format it.

Step 4: Attempt Data Recovery (if needed)

  1. Use Data Recovery Software: If you can see the card but cannot access the files, use data recovery software such as Recuva (Windows) or Disk Drill (Windows/Mac) to recover your data.
  2. Backup Recovered Data: If recovery is successful, save the recovered files to a different storage device.

Step 5: Format the Memory Card

  1. Backup Any Accessible Data: Before formatting, ensure that all important data is backed up, as formatting will erase all content.
  2. Format via Computer:
  • Windows: Open “This PC,” right-click on the memory card, and select “Format.” Choose the file system (usually FAT32 or exFAT) and click “Start.”
  • Mac: Open “Disk Utility,” select the memory card, click “Erase,” and choose the format (usually MS-DOS (FAT) or exFAT), then click “Erase.”
  1. Format via Device: If the memory card is used in a specific device like a camera or phone, try formatting it through the device’s settings menu.

Step 6: Test the Memory Card

  1. Reinsert the Card: After formatting, reinsert the card into the original device and check if it functions properly.
  2. Test by Saving Files: Try saving new files to the card to ensure it is working correctly.

Step 7: Replace the Memory Card (if needed)

  1. Check Warranty: If the card is still under warranty and is not working after troubleshooting, contact SanDisk for a replacement.
  2. Purchase a New Card: If the card is out of warranty or physically damaged, you may need to purchase a new memory card.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and potentially fix the issue with your SanDisk 128GB memory card.
