    This is what is confusing me.
    So is it the laptop that doesn't read it or is the card dead?...

    By other devices, he meant the Edge and his music player. He hasn't actually mentioned specifically that it works on another computer. Basically, the laptop acts like the card is corrupt. When it tries to open in Windows Explorer, it freezes. When it tries to read the card in general, it freezes. This is exactly what my old MicroSD (corrupt) and an iPod (corrupt HD) did before to me. This is pretty much why I think it's corrupt.

    Ok. Thanks for clearing that up. :p

    Then, I'd have to say that the card is corrupted as well if it's doing all of this shit...

    And my other PC doesn't power on for some odd reason.

    Explorer doesn't freeze when it is inserted for a minute, but then it doesn't show up.

    I've had this happen before myself. You'll need to reformat it entirely if you can access it through My Computer, there's no way to salvage it otherwise. Otherwise, just try another adapter, try it on another computer, etc.

    The other TFlash adapter did not read it either.
    I cannot try another computer. My pc won't power on for some reason.
    I can try my other adapter...it always gives a "The card is not formatted, would you like to format it?" message.

    I do not want to but a new card.

    Erhm, I have access to the card again. It is formatted after a reset and everything seems to work fine.
