My SD card has brokenness.

Back on the 12th my microSD broke.


I was playin' Populous II on SnemulDS on Stylus mode on a PNY 2GB card on an R4. It froze. I restarted. I got a hang at the "Loading..." screen. I put it in my Computer. It didn't recognize it. I put it in my camera. It didn't recognize it.

What do I do?

 

Usually if it hangs on the "Loading..." screen, I just take it out, blow on the contacts, and blow into the microSD slot. If in the strange case your card is rendered useless, then you might have to buy a new one. Just hope you saved a backup copy.

 

There are a few threads on this problem. If you really can't read the card then most probably it's gone. You could try sending it back to the shop and they might change a new one for you if you bought it not long ago.

 

Yeeup. That's what most people say. I just need to confirm a few more things:

A) I have a crappy camera, need to try a different one.
B) People say Linux Live CDs can fix them

Though, I think it just randomly broke, and I need to call the manufacturer.

 

Dude. I know you can't drink rubbing alcohol.

...

 

It's just a precaution. If someone did actually do something like that, he might be held responsible or something. So just to play it safe.

 

Well both of mine broke so i sent them back to Kingston, they didn't charge me and it took about a week to get it back. So i would try going to PNY's website and see how hard the rma process is after you try the rubbing alcohol trick.

 

Thanks for all the help, but I fixed it on my own.

After using the rubbing alcohol, I tried using a friend's camera. It worked.

So, I guess brand of camera matters.

Oh, and I understood that was a precaution, I just thought it sounded funny.
