Yeah I would say just warranty it (if it also doesnt format on other devices (eg, android phone), I had a basic 16gb sandisk go read only on me when it died, so could be similar problem.

Yes. Read only.

Just curious, have you check the physical switch on write protection on your SD card?

I wanted to say this. But i have no idea if TS has the newer micro SD cards that does not have physical switch like the older SD version.

Checking the listing in TS's screenshot, it does seem to be a MicroSD Card with an adapter

Do make sure the adapter's write protect notch isn't set to lock
And do double check, my old laptop liked to push it over to lock while inserting the card in

There's no lock swtch

Got try this method?

eh, I dont like sites like these, they are SEO junk generated sites made from templates like "10 ways to fix PROBLEM"
diskpart already tried by TS
messing with regedit or group policy is risky

which brings you to step 4 where they try to sell you their software, which is their goal

method 1 n 4 are failed
method 2 n 3 believe are for computer managed by GPO. my home laptop doesnt has those settings





btw if using other sd card no isu. no need to touch above setting

If all diy methods used don't work, very likely the card gone case.

Easier to just go claim warranty, seems like this product has lifetime warranty, so go make use of it.

Looks to me it is a damaged card. Nothing much you can do with this I/O device error.
You may try to download the files onto another drive (if you were able to access the disk, that it).
But have to do it many times, and small number of files at a time. Good luck.

But it does not allow retrieving the files inside, yes? Like will only give replacement card?

Usually no, you will have to manually copy anything you need off the card and store it somewhere else temporarily before sending it in

This is a bummer. A bit ironic that they are giving a replacement to a product they sold that went konk in the first place.

Weird dmg card but still can read the files inside
Except can't format only

It's the most ideal failure mode, since you can still read and get anything you need off it

If it had died completely and could not be read, then rip all your data on it
