SD Card Not Working – Corrupted or Unreadable! Any Fixes?

I’ve been having issues with my SD card recently. It keeps showing up as ‘corrupted’ or ‘unreadable’ on my device, and I’m not sure how to fix it. I’ve tried rebooting my device and reformatting the card, but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone else dealt with this issue? What steps did you take to recover your data or get the card working again? Any advice would be appreciated!

On Windows, you can also try running the built-in CHKDSK utility to repair errors.

Well, clearly your SD card is acting up. First, reboot your device, because that always helps, right? Then, try using a different reader or port, just in case it’s not actually the card’s fault. If that fails, format it—if you even know how. If it’s still dead, maybe it’s time to admit it’s gone.

Corrupted files are basically the new normal. But seriously, try recovery software like Recuva or Stellar, those are your best bet. If that fails, well, guess it’s time to treat yourself to a shiny new SD card, because who doesn’t love spending more money?
