Hi guys,

First of all, I'm not sure if i'm posting in the right forum.

I have a MicroSD card and suddenly it is not readable. I have important pictures that needs to be retrieved.

Is there any possible ways that i can actually retreive the data inside as it suddenly could not be read.

I've tried many devices but still not possible for the card to be read.

With many thanks

Have you tried recovery software like Sandisk Rescue Pro?

You will also need a good microSD card reader.

Cannot be detected or can be detected but cannot read?

Sometimes could be the MicroSD golden contacts dirty.
Use an pencil eraser (not ink) to clean the contacts.
Clean up the residue using Isopropyl Alcohol ( available from pharmacy ).

What brand of MicroSD ?

Try it on another device if possible. If the result is the same, good chance the card is a goner. It is also possible for the data to be lost. The NAND chip used in SD cards are usually very low grade, so may not be a reliable place to store critical data.

Yes. It's possible the cause is hardware related eg. motherboard, card reader issues. Or poor card insertion.
I'm surprised to hear that microSD card memory storage is not very reliable. Use them for my data backups. Never fail me so far.
