please help my SD card - General Accessories

I've had a SD card 2GB.Yesterday it still worked ok, but today when i inserted it into my notebook it didn't work .My notebook displayed symbol SD storage device ,but when I click it I have to wait for more than 5 mins and then no answer....???
I tried to scan it with KIS 7.0 so many times but no result
Please help me ( if you have any solution )
thank you very much...
By the way I'm newbie...hello everybody...!

if the pda, the pc and maybe a digicam all fail to be able to access it at all
i say it's dead i had a 512MB sd card die on my like that no device would have anything to do with it

Sounds pretty dead. Might be worth attempting a block-level scan on it though if there's anything on there you want to pull off.
Just the other day I had a Kingston (!) 2GB card die also. Had to redo an essay as a result. Such is life. And backup! 'Cause storage can and will go bad.

SD Card not detected

I am using O2 XDA IIs PPC 2003 SE.
Now when I insert my SD Card 2 GB, the OS does not recognize it.
(It was good before.)
I've tried with another 256 SD Card, same result.
Those SD Cards are working well with my Card Reader plugged into my PC.
Anyone could help me please?
Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry I don't know.
However.. you've come to the wrong place if you want help.. people here seem to have an aversion to actually helping people out.. don't get me wrong, there are some very talented people that call this forum 'base', but they are understandably busy.. and the other's who hang just don't answer **** unless it suits them..
You are more likely to get the answer "read the wiki" which isn't the most helpful thing in the world. Even those of us who try others to help despite our knowledge being somewhat wanting.. just in the hopes of being seen to be at least trying, aren't deemed to be worth giving an answer to.
I suggest these two forums.

You will get help there.
Try soft resetting the device, poke the stylus in the reset hole and once the device re-boots it should see the card, you will not loose information performing a soft reset - Mike
thanks guys.
Hi, I've also have a sort of problem like yours. I tried soft reset n it actually works. But sometimes my BA still can't read my SD. I've tried format my SD n even upgrade my ROM. It seems that the problem is in hardware. I don't know what to do anymore
U have probably what I also have.. a faulty SD card reader or a bad soldering (welding)...
Last night I dissambled my BA n I found out that the screws around SD card reader were loose. I've tightened them up n so far I don't have any problem with SD card. But I've still exprerienced problem with my screen keep active when my BA was pressed even though I've locked the device n power off. I don't know what to do anymore. Any suggestion?
Problem already solved.
It was because tiny plastic dirts on the SD slot.
Once I cleaned it up, it's working as before.
Thanks to you all. What a nice forum we have here.
I had similar problems with a 1GB card. Formatting it in a PC-based card reader fixed it. Remember not to select quick format.
Can I put a 4GB SD Card in the Blue Angel? Will it work?

It will work if the card is *NOT* a SDHC card.
I found my 4 gig card on ebay, topram is the brand, and it works fine as it is a non-SDHC card.
Sdcard not reconized
HI TO ALL..
I had installed miopocket 4.0 on my VDO Dayton PNA6000-WINCE 5 but
because of problems with Garmin XT I had to uninstall but the uninstall
did not do the best for me, now my SD slot dont read any sdcard i think
its corrupted registry and i dont have access to usb active sync only
have MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) when i connect to usb(no data
transfer). How can i access my resident flash(INTERNAL MEMORY) to edit
registry,change usb mode to activesync or something else???, i think sdmemory.dll is making
load problems.
Tnx in advance!
To have access to registry use TotalCommander or SKTools
but i dont have access to system, sdslot is not functional and i cant install active sync driver just mtu in device manager..

Help!! Sd Card Not Seen By Device

Help! I have an XDA IIs which was working fine for the last two years. It has a 1GB SD Card in there. I used it for TomTom all this time, with no problems at all.
A couple of days ago, I forgot to grab my device from the car as I was in a rush and I left it in the car (powered off, but with TomTom running) most of the day.
When I got back in the car, TomTom wasn't working right so I closed it and tried to re-open it, whereupon I received the nasty message "Cannot determine location of data".
To put it simply, the device no longer recognises the presence of an SD Card! It's not in File Explorer, nor under Settings / Memory / Storage Card.
What is going on?
Here's a list of what I've tried already (none of these ideas has solved the issue):
o Tried a different SD Card
o Tried a soft reset on the device
o Tried a hard-reset on the device
o After hard-reset, tried a restore from a recent Active Sync backup-to-PC.
o Downloaded PocketPC Mechanic and played around A LITTLE (didn't do anything that seemed dangerous like defragging, registry cleaning, etc)
Any help will be VERY gratefully received!
Thanks
Matt
Update... but still have problem
Quick update
I also tried formatting the SD Card. No help (I have since copied all data back onto the card and it still doesn't work).

Apparently, the motherboard your device is dies slowly.
Have you tried a diifferent sd card? reinstalling the software all over again?
Replying to Rafa1215
Yes, I have tried a different SD Card (as noted in the original post, list of things I have tried). It's a 128MB one which works fine in the SD Card reader slot on my PC (my main 1GB card works fine in PC slot as well).
Here's a further titbit of information which may or may not be useful in helping me:
I've tried several times to restore the backup-to-PC I made at the end of April (essentially the same stuff on the device then as now, luckily). Normally, when you insert (or remove) the card, it turns the screen on. Each time I perform the restore (of the same backup, over and over again), the SD Card slot actually performs this function when I insert the card again - but ONLY ONCE each time I restore from backup.
As for reinstalling software all over again... I have performed a hard-reset on the device, and tried the card as soon as it is ready to use... no luck there either.
In reply to vovaxxxx:
Is that a serious comment? The motherboard slowly dies? If that's true then this device is fit for nothing but the rubbish bin!
More ideas are welcome please, I thank you for the feedback!!
If you're luck enough to have a friend that have a BA you could test his sd card on your BA and your sd card on his BA. If his BA can read your card and yours can't read his then you have 2 situations:
1) Your sd card slot is dirty or slightly melted so you have no good contacts, try to clean it.
2) Time to buy a new phone or try to buy a new circuit board for your phone but for the price I think is better you get a new phone.
Edit: If you have $100 you can get a new circuit board here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310283
search google for panasonic sd formatter or something like this, this is a lil program which is used to format your SD properly. Insert your SD card into the card reader, start the program and reformat the SD card.
The problem is within the SD card file system

If that doesn't work try
Storage Tools by softwinter.com
You can at least do a Scandisk and fix any errors during the scan
OK I formatted the SD card with the Panasonic formatting utility. (Backed everything up to the PC first, from the card!)
Still no difference. To reiterate - the SD Card(s) I am trying to use are working fine in my PC's SD Card reading slot.
I think it's the hardware (i.e. the XDA itself)... LGSilva says I could try cleaning the contacts. Any recommended ways on doing this? The slot is too small to get any kind of decent cleaning implement in there, and I can't dismantle the device because it's held together with special screws (6-pointed-star-shaped heads).
Hi
the company i work for has around 300 device and this happens every now and again. not sure if this will help but normally call our mobile network and get a replacement. it's normally the card reader in the device.

The screws are size 6 Torx bits, suitable sets of these drivers can be bought from Maplins in the UK, although you don't mention where you are located.
There is also a guide to taking the BA to bits in the WiKi and a very comprehensive one containing pictures etc. at the bottom of the WiKi page, well worth reading both before you try taking it to bits - Mike

Desire killed my 8gb microsd! Help?

Been using this 8gb microsd for a over 2 months and never had a problem was always flashing different roms until last week while i was running sense 2.04 the card just suddenly stopped working completely!
no phone can read it! tried it on a few nokia phones and my htc magic with no luck!
tried the card reader to see if it needs format but the reader can't read it and the reader does work i tried it with other cards...
Does anyone or have an idea what I can do to get it working again? I just want to get my photos on it even if i somehow have to format i can always use a recovery software to get the files back but it's not getting recognized... probably a hardware issue? anyone with any help would be appreciated !
Had the same problem, managed to copy stuff off onto pc but cannot re-format the card.
It says it is locked.
Not really the same thing... I can't even copy my files because it doesn't get detected at all! and now just tried a different card reader so again it doesn't seem to be the reader that the issue... could it be truly dead?
I've had that happen on my G1.
Grab an Ubuntu live disk, boot from it and then plug in your memory card reader with your microsd. It should read it and then you can copy your files over to your HDD. It shouldnt be too hard. If you have an ext partition it will also read that and you can copy the contents over to your hdd. Then using Gparted, you can repartition your sd card and then copy your stuff back over.
this happened to me about 6 weeks back - Desire and WinXP would not mount the card at all, manged to mount it through ubuntu but only got a couple of files (photos) back off the card. Back to the 4Gb as supplied sd just now
Hmm just tried ubuntu guys and didn't seem to get any luck... any other ideas? thx.

I got same problem with froyo, my card is dead. I tried with all methods but no luck.
Yea i thought i would just post that my desire has also killed my 8gb class 2 memory card, no computer will properly recognize it. Cannot format it or anything.
If i brought a 16gb class 6 do you think the phone will kill that as well, just dont wana waste $80.
When this happened to my 4GB card. I booted the phone into recovery mode. Selected 'MS-USB-Toggle' and the PC then picked it up. Was able to copy photos off the card and reformat it.
Give that a try?
If you still don't come right, I think it is safe to say the card is dead. May have just been a faulty card, rather than the phone killing it. (Don't see how that would even be possible, anyway)
put your micro sd in a sd-card adaptor and format via digital-camera.
camera can format killed cards.

Hmmm, not so sure about that. Normally a dead card is a dead card. End of.
However give it a try - will be surprised if it works.
To add another phone to the list: my old HTC Hero toasted my 16GB SDHC.
Yep when I got my first desire it cooked a 16Gb Sandisk card... worked fine for almost 18 months in my Touch HD... less than a week in the Desire... toast!
Me too.
My Desire seems to have fried my 16Gb Sandisk card, although I'm still trying to work out if it's a genuine card as it looks different to my other sandisk cards but the seller assures me it's real. Lost my holiday photos!!!
Just bought another 16Gb card, will see how that goes.
Going to email HTC and see what they say.

I second that, they do particularly well
You can also try a low level format tool
I have used this one before - oldie but goodie - http://hddguru.com/software/2006.04.12-HDD-Low-Level-Format-Tool/ but there are others
this has hapened to my lexar 16gb card.
Ihave a rooted desire; I went into the recovery menu, formatted the card to fat32 100%.
I then plugged it into my w7pc. did a low level format, dskchk-check and fix bad blocks.
then reformatted to ext: 512 and the rest fat32 in my device, been working ever since.

or your phone's sd reader chip thingy is broken somehow? if your pc can detect it, but your phone cant, it is mostly related to be more a phone problem than a sd card one.
backup all of your data on your sd to your pc, and than format it.
put it in your phone again, and if it still doesn't connect, there might be a problem
