SD card repair

The SD (Secure Digital) memory card is one of the most common media used in digital technology. However, sometimes there are problems with the operation of the memory card, and it must be repaired.

Here are some steps to repair the SD memory card:

1. Check the physical condition: Make sure the card is clean and there are no visible damaged or dirty contacts.
2. Use other devices: If your card is not recognized in the current device (camera, smartphone), check it on another computer or card reader.
3. Insert correctly: Make sure that you insert the memory card correctly into the slot - it should be fully inserted to the end without any distortions.
4. Formatting via a computer: With the help of special software, it is possible to format the disk/partition itself by connecting it, for example, via a USB adapter, the front side of which has a microSD connector
5. Using the command line: If your memory card is not displayed in Windows Explorer, you can use the command line to perform formatting. Open the command prompt (cmd) and type “format X:” (where X is the drive letter of the memory card).
6. Using specialized programs: There are various utilities that can help correct errors on the SD card or even restore lost data. Some of them are Recuva, TestDisk and PhotoRec.

However, it should be noted that if all these methods did not work and the card still does not work properly or the content has been deleted/distorted beyond the possibility of its recovery, it is recommended to seek professional help from the service center
