    Write protection is any physical mechanism that prevents modification or erasure of valuable data on a device. Most commercial software, audio and video is sold pre-protected.

    He likely means a USB adapter for his MicroSD card.

    Backup everything on it, and try to format it. It might have started failing. Seems a lot of these threads end with people not being able to format the card, or write anything to it.
