It is not likely, but Flash memory does has a chance of failing even if its new, I have had a couple die on me with fairly little use... I would possibly try to contact the place you bought it (or if it came with device the manufacturer) to look into possible replacements.
Tried other computers? other card readers? If you ever get it back up for mat it and select "default allocation size" in the format dialouge. should help with future use.

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I can possibly do??
The card came as EXFAT, but most roms only support FAT32.
I formatted the card to FAT32 which was fine .. but after copying a few files the card now refuses to write or delete files. I can still open and view media that's on it but that's about it. I can't even re-format it, it will say the disk can not be formated or write error. The card isn't corrupt though, I copied around 30gbs of video on it when it was in EXFAT partition before. J
I'm using an SD adaptor into my card reader, but yes I have ensured the lock switch is off.
edit - oh also, when you place the card into the phone it'll say that the card is damaged/blank.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,

Make sure you format it in the phone
Every time I place the card in, it will say the card is damaged or blank
Then it tries to format it but then goes through the same loop of saying it's damaged/blank

i had experienced the same problem i tried my best using several fomat tools. think almost all the tools in the world....failed and bought a new one.....think its better go for new card
Did you try to format it on Linux? I've experienced some problems with SD cards formated on Windows (assuming that you run Windows )

pretty much - there's nothing you can do. I decided to email Sandisk and here's their response:
I understand that the error that appear after format is “write protected”. First we would like to apologize for the inconvenience.
I understand that you are getting write protection error while accessing the flash drive. The flash drive has detected a potential fault and become “write protected” to prevent data loss. There is no method to fix this. You will need to back-up your data and replace the flash drive.
So you have to RMA it. I'm abit confused because others on XDA have successfully covnerted their 64gb cards to FAT32 without any issues.
Could it be a faulty batch of sd cards?.
I have a faves pad 10.1 model yx10a03, and i'm having trouble with storage.
When I go to settings and storage it says I have total space 0.00, even with an 8gb msd card installed. so I'm thinking the tab has lost all its mount points.
I have tried 6 different micro sd cards as well and none of them seem to be recognized, I get a message " preparing sd card then nothing registers.
What do I do? I can get apps to install , but anything that needs more space like google earth etc fails during install.
Some one help...I can't find a firmware update or a custom rom from anywhere.
Iv'e tried factory data reset, no joy. I need a total system reset but not sure how.

When you connect to your computer or using something like Astro can you see or navigate to the "external" memory card drive?
If I connect it without a Micro sd card inserted I get nothing.
But if I connect the pad to my P.C via usb cable with a Micro sd card in it, it registers as external 8gb drive which I can send files to etc.
If I use astro, it sees that the sd card as a mount but nothing inside. Also doesn't show any size or storage available.
I could do with rooting method and put a custom rom on it but can't find anything about it.

Phone/Tablet inits the device but it's OS (drivers?) can't read the format.

PC recognized the mounted initialized device and can R/W to the (fat32?) format.

Astro (AFAIK) ques the device's I/O system for file spec and info. It (again AFAIK) just sends commands through the Tablet's OS. Kinda like running LS might in IRIX or some other unix.

I have no idea and I'm a total n00b but... I wonder if the Tablet uses a proprietary/virtual FS on the SD card instead of the direct embedded card driver?
Is there anything in the instructions about formatting the card? Did you try to format the card in the tablet yet?
So this would be like when I format an SD card on my Mac... It can no longer be read by any other device until it's re-formatted by a non-mac device... But if mounted by said external device acting as a "card-reader" then the connected Mac can perform I/O normally. Only in this case your tablet is like the mac in that situation. Errr, if that made any sense.
Anyway, try to format the card on your tablet and see if that works.
So I had this 8gb micro Sdcard that came with my phone and for Christmas I got a 16gb one. I had a lot of precious stuff on the older 8gb, so I put it into an adapter and connected it to my PC, planning to backup the contents and then put it on the 16gb. But when i connected it in, it said "This card needs to be formated before using". I first i thought the adapter was broken, so I put the micro sdcard back into my android phone so I could connect my phone to the computer and do it that way but when it turned on it said "Sdcard ready to remove". The phone wouldn't recognise it either!
I have already put other micro sdcards in the adapter and they work perfectly.
I have a lot of precious stuff on the micro sdcard so if there is a way to fix it without wiping everything, I'd be really happy to hear it.
Will give the person who answered best thanks in all of their last 15 posts.
Maybe try disk manager on your PC and see what format is says the card is..
otherwise try the phone again and again hopefully it will work. Ive had that before and a combination of playing with disk manager and the phone I managed to get the stuff off my card

i would try inserting it into your phone several times to try to get it to catch..also reboot phone while card is inserted..if you have to format the card you can still get everything off of it by using a program like "recuva" .. ive used it many times and it works like a charm..nothing is ever erased on a sd card..its only overwritten..so as long as you havent overwritten anything on the card you can easily get it back..formatting will not overwrite anything
Connect your card to pc, open mini partition tool wizard. Click on your memory in program and next open.
I tried putting the sdcard back into my phone several times and always didn't work . I went onto diskmanager and see screenshot below for info (it's g/ drive). I then tried formatting with various settings and always got a failure see second screenshot.

Hey. Thanks for the reply, I installed that program but it confuses me. How do i access my sdcard with it?
My sdcard is not partitioned or used for swap or anything.
Oh and I've tried formatting with exfat, fat, fat32 and NFTS and always fails
Do you see your sd card in this program? If yes try wipe volume
I checked your screens and your card is RAW- file system is broken or is unknown to the windows , try this:
1
close ALL your programs, insert your sd card to your computer and ONLY WAIT,(15 min.) do nothing, dont touch mouse (weird? yes but your computer will try to repair file system, fot 2gb is less 5-10 minutes, but your is 8 gb class???, that wait more)
2 (optional, but you should try 3 point)
Format your sd with windows installerr (format it during window installation using windows setup disc) you can cancell instalation after format without probles
3
If still nothing (after 25 minutes) try this program http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html - IT IS LAST OPTION WITHOUT SPEND MONEY
Tell me if it worked.
Well, I have a class 6 16 gb samsung micro sd card using with lg p500. Two weeks ago after installing some rom(probably icysnap) after booting it can't recognize the sd card but detects it in cwm. So I know my sd card is alright. so I flashed another rom(rasheed's jb) but still it can't recognize the sd card although detected in cwm just like previous times. After then I tried a lot like formatting it,partitioning it by both CWM & Minitool from FAT32 to FAT-EXT123..every format. But nope..nothing happened. And then next morning it is recognized again. So it takes a few hours to be detected. What the heck is going on? Any solution? Can't I have flexibility to reboot my phone:crying:?
And don't I have any right to use link2sd and download more apps than it fits in internal memory:crying:!
maybe your phone doesn't recognize sd card because of some permisions, try fix permisions from cwm
Format it again in PC.. dont use Quick format method. Size allocation DEFAULT. Dont patition it this time. Try different kernels.
Still if you face the problem.. get another MicroSD card.. buy transcend.

another thing, on playstore is an app named PIMPMYROM, I used it to zipalign and move data to sd but I do not recommend in your case to move data to SD, you can try it , it is free, but beware some things may brick your phone
another thing is to check SD slot with a multimeter to see if all pins have same voltage/amps
and as rr0yy says, try with another SD card, maybe this one isn't too good and is too lazy and moves with the speed of a rabid snail

Well..my $15 Micromax phone instantly detects teh card. I think there is no problem with the card but the reader in the phone. And I tried everything like fixing permission in cwm.
Hello every one i got this phone doogee dg310 before couples of days.
Everything is fine just one a little problem. When i put my external sd card its working. Than i try to plug phone via usb and transfer file to sd card everything is good but after 3 time connecting to pc and doing file tranfer and when i disconnect from pc i got problem. I am try to open any of files explorer and its get crash. and I am trying restart phone nothing helps. And even when i try put another card is the same. But the strange thing is that when i formating my sd card with computer and put back to phone is working fine and another card working fine until iam using file tranfer with usb 3 times. Phone andorid is kitkat 4.4.2 Maybe you know how to solve it ?
You haven’t mentioned about the storage capacity of your SD card. If your phone can support 32 GB then I suggest you to use 16 GB SD card. Try to connect your SD card with another PC and try again.
My phone spports 32 gb cards and mine card is 4 gb. Maybe its kitkat fault because i read that another people have similar problems with sd card and they are using a kitkat android.
I am trying to use sd card adapter and its the same problem and when this problem apear no sd card working until format, it even show that not sd card are turned on even internal.

I think it's crushed. Use a windows 7 based PC and connect sd card to it . Press format on the pop up menu and also press recover bad sectors . In most cases it will fix your problem . Search on internet for any mem. card repair tool and that might be help you .

Ok thanks I will try. Maybe you can recomend good tool to repair sd ?
unfortunately but its the same bug i am connect to my laptop with windows 7 and format and also scan for bad sectors and trying this with usb and after 4 time transfaring files i got the same problem
