Unreadable Micro SD card

[Starrry_]

Hi gurus,

Can help me out on this? There are videos & pic inside. From my gopro.

I have tried many data recovery software but to no avail. It says, "please format drive before use".

Im using an OEM Sd card.

HI Starry, where did you buy your microSD card from?

Have you tried using a different card reader to read the MicroSD card?

I bought it off ebay. Yes, i've tried using the USB card reader, micro to sd card reader. Tried on different computers too.

WHat brand? Chances are it might be dead... Maybe you can look at Kingston or Samsung MicroSD cards next time...

Next time pls buy better brand flash memory cards from Samsung n SanDisk. . Now all yr sweet memories photos n video all gone..

 

[mocax]

gopro forums got people with similar problems. i think need to update gopro firmware and a few other steps.

DO NOT copy other files into the card used for gopro.

My transcend outlast my samsung so far...

And is the only one that could maintain constant speed... Sandisk and samsung didn't.

Is it a new card? Test its capacity before? If not tested before, might be a fake card?

I got a kingston card die on me in under a month, and another that lasted for 4years and counting... electronics to me is really heng suay one

Get those more branded SD cards like Samsung and Kingston, their warranty period at least 10 years~

Try using the microsd in sd card adaptor and clean the metal contacts with cotton bud. Borrow usb microsd card reader from friends.

as ppl mentioned could be firmware issue on gopro. just in case next time buy better brand sd card like sandisk, samsung, toshiba and etc. hope u can fix the problem and read all the stuff inside. gd luck!

 

[yusoffb01]

[xiaowhois]

perhaps next time get a better microsd like Samsung Evo / Pro Series microsd or Sandisk next time

As for your problem maybe seek around in gopro forum see any solution or else you need to get professional recovery company do it and pay premium for it

to salvage the data in your MicroSD card will be difficult.. in fact, salvage the whole MicroSD card itself may not be possible too.

remember to use the software from SD website to format your card instead of using normal format methods
