Okay, so here is the problem I have had since Monday.
i was in the middle of an uber hectic day and without a warning my Samsung Galaxy 5 suddenly restarted in the middle of a call. The only way I knew it is because I heard Samsung’s boot tone when it restarting. After it booted up, it showed a warning of a blank SD card and asked me if I want to format it, which I choose “YES”, and afterwards, it returned with an error messae, and keep looping.
At that point I removed the micro SDXC, plug it into Sandisk adapter and plug it into my computer and to my surprise it showed 30.6MB space. I tried to format it, but it says the disk is write protected, but it is not. It won’t let me format it, so I have tried and use other programs, like SD Formatter, HP Disk Format Tool, Gparted and some other programs, but none worked for me.
I guess I have to return it for a replacement, but I don’t know where I can return it to. I am from Indonesia, btw.
in that case you cannot do anything more with the card and its defective so you can replace it with the place of purchase or contact sandisk direct to replace the card in the warranty.
Sorry if this is a reply to a very old thread but maybe it would help someone who is facing the same issue again. 30.6MB recognition for Sandisk memory card capacity shows that the controller inside does not see the NAND (physically). In another word, the card is defective and needs to be replaced. However, if you lost some important information on it, there is a proper way to restore that data.
