I have a 16GB VideoHD SD card that the lock broke off and can’t be recorded to by my camcorder. I’d guess the card is out of warrranty period, purchased on 02/ 27/09, and if it weren’t I had probably voided it by opening the casing. I’d like to buy a cheap SD card and switch the insides. I’d like you to confirm to me if there’s only that one piece with the metal and how would I replace the lock.
that is way too much trouble. you can just put a piece of tape over the lock switch area alot like old floppy drives and it will let you write to the card again.
what kind of tape are you using? scotch tape should work. the card has a 5 year warranty so if you have not opened the case yet contact sandisk support.
