What kind of failures can cause an Android device to stop detecting a card? microSD memory, and what to do in this case?

Majority modern smartphones equipped with a slot for microSD. Thus, manufacturers provide the gadget with a standard amount of internal memory and give users a choice: do they need additional data storage space for some money or not. This solution is convenient for both parties and helps reduce the cost of the device - otherwise, using a flash module with a large volume leads to an increase in the price of the device.

If you decide to expand the capabilities of your gadget by purchasing a flash drive, you may find yourself in a situation where the phone does not see the microSD memory card. There may be several causes and solutions to this problem.

If you have not yet purchased an additional drive, but are planning to do so, be sure to check out ours, which contains valuable and useful information.

Checking the memory card

System failure

Sometimes minor glitches occur in the system. As a rule, a simple reboot of the smartphone or tablet helps resolve such problems. As a last resort, you can try resetting the settings to factory settings, but all data from the device will be deleted.

Incompatibility

Each device supports a certain type of memory card, depending on the manufacturer and model. Users, in pursuit of large volumes, ignore the capabilities of the gadget itself, which later causes problems and the phone does not read or does not see the flash drive.

Before purchasing microSD, please read carefully technical requirements gadget. If the instructions say that it supports memory cards up to 32 GB, you should not try to use a 64 GB or 128 GB flash drive.

No contact

Another reason that Android does not recognize the memory card may be problems with the contacts - they may move away or become clogged. In this case, take out the flash drive, clean the contacts and insert it back into the device.

Damaged sectors

The problems may have arisen due to damaged sectors or incorrect formatting. In this case, you need to format the microSD card.

  1. Insert it into your computer or laptop. If the PC sees the content, copy it to the computer and only then start formatting - this way you can save everything important files and data.
  2. Right-click on the name of the drive, select “Format”. In the formatting settings in the “File system” line, FAT32 should be selected, since Android may not read other formats.
  3. Click "Get Started."
  4. Additional formatting may be required on the device itself. You can perform this operation in “Settings”, in the “Memory” section, “Format SD card”.

Problems with internal memory

There is a situation when a microSD memory card cannot be read by a smartphone. The reason may be a failure in the system when deleting or changing system files, sometimes this happens when you root your device.

In this case, you need to try to fix it in . With the device turned off, press the key combination to go to special menu. Different smartphones use different combinations:

  • Volume up + power button.
  • Volume down + power button.
  • Home key + power button.
  • Home key + Power button + Volume up.

When you open the recovery menu, you will see something like this:

In the list, click on the item Wipe cache partition (cleaning the system cache) and reboot the gadget.

Serious damage

If none of the above methods help, the problem may be hardware or drive malfunction. In this case, you need to contact a specialist or buy a new card.

What to do if the phone does not see the memory card? Since I often get asked this and similar questions, I answered them all at once in this article. It will be useful to owners of cameras, Samsung, Lenovo phones, laptops - in general, all those devices that support a memory card and refuse to read the data on the card.

First, some technical details describing the problem. Let's say, as a result of some manipulations, a mobile device (phone, tablet, smartphone) stopped identifying a memory card (SD card) even through a card reader. All data is recorded in internal memory phone, bypassing the memory card itself. This is inconvenient because the SD card is not used while the memory mobile device is rapidly clogged. Productivity decreases accordingly.

So, the problem is described in detail, let’s move on to diagnosing the phone, smartphone, tablet. Let's look at the most common reasons why phones don't see a memory card (flash drive) and how to fix this defect on your own using a card reader.

The phone does not see the SD card due to an incorrect file system format or a damaged file table

Cause of the problem. 1) The file table on the SD card was damaged and the markings were lost. 2) You formatted the memory card yourself, as a result of which the phone stopped seeing the flash drive. 3) SD card file system is unknown (used in another operating system)

How to fix. 1. Find out the size of your flash drive. If the microSD capacity is greater than 32 GB, it is most likely formatted in exFAT. Not all Android versions support this file system. If you are not using Mac OS, format the memory card to NTFS or FAT.

I show how to do this in the video:

2. Fast way fix the problem - reboot the phone in recovery mode and in service mode Android menu select the Wipe cache partition option. This command will clear the contents of the SD card and format the media in the FAT32 file system - it is best suited for storing files on the phone.

Note. We would not advise inexperienced users to perform this procedure: if you mistakenly format the wrong partition, you will lose all the data on the phone, including files in the internal memory.

3. A safer (and more convenient) method of formatting an SD card is through a computer. You will need a card reader and SD Formatter software. It will help you format the flash drive properly.

4. You can try low-level formatting - however, not all manufacturers offer their own software for this (check the memory card website).

The memory card of the phone (tablet) has failed

Cause of the problem. As a result of mechanical / thermal damage incompatible with life, the phone stopped seeing the memory card or the SD card stopped working. Alternatively, the phone has stopped detecting the flash drive; on other devices the card is also unreadable.

What to do. Alas, nothing can be done with a damaged SD card. All you have to do is purchase a new SD card that is compatible in size and specifications with your smartphone or tablet. The most unpleasant moment is all the data that was stored on the memory card Android phone or iOS, disappear completely. You will no longer be able to restore them - neither by connecting your phone with a flash drive via USB, nor through a card reader.

If the flash drive is still under warranty and looks like new (no visible damage), try returning it to the store. If you're lucky, you'll get a brand new replacement card.

Check for bad blocks (bad sectors) via HDDScan

The HDDScan utility (ignore the name) allows you to check memory cards, flash drives for bad sectors and read errors.

To diagnose the problem, it is enough to run the SD card through two types of tests - Read and Write tests. After spending 5 minutes of time, you will get a conclusion: are there bad sectors that prevent correct operation, which is why the phone does not read the flash drive.

  • If the flash drive was purchased recently, we replace it under warranty (local or global).
  • If there is no guarantee or it has expired, we erase the bad sectors with zeros. This can be done through the DMDE program. This procedure will allow you to shift non-working sectors, as a result of which the flash drive will be correctly detected both on the computer and on the devices where it was actively used.

Formatting with modern digital cameras

A number of Canon and Nikon camera models, according to user reviews, give positive results - they format at a low level.

How to fix an SD card through a camera:

  1. Insert the SD card into the device,
  2. In the camera menu, find the format command,
  3. Try recording files onto a formatted card.

Contact technical support (for Transcend flash drives, etc.)

Their technical support specialists can advise free of charge methods for restoring problematic flash drives. In fact, who, if not them, is best versed in the design of SD cards? In addition, technical support may offer you proprietary programs designed for low level formatting(sometimes they are difficult to find on the manufacturer’s website).

Give the memory card to specialists for recovery

This option is suitable if you are willing to pay for the work of specialists. This procedure is expensive, but the advantage is obvious: data can be extracted from a faulty device (though only if the memory chips were not damaged).

The memory card is not compatible with the mobile device

Cause. 1) The mobile device does not support new memory cards. 2) The memory card is too large or uses an unknown one technical specification. Therefore, the phone refuses to read the data and does not recognize the flash drive as a storage device.

What to do. Carefully study the documentation for your phone and buy an SD card that does not contradict system requirements.

Wrong data transfer mode in Android

Symptom. You connect your phone with a flash drive via a USB cable, selecting the Mass Storage option, as a result it does not appear on the computer.

How to fix. Instead of "Mass Storage", when connecting your phone to a PC, select the "MEDIA TRANSFER" option. Explorer should display the contents of the memory card.

The contact of the USB flash drive has come loose or the tracks in the socket have been erased

Symptom. As a result of displacement or incorrect connection, the memory card does not connect to the mobile device, and, as a result, the phone does not see its contents.

How to fix. Remove the SD card from the phone, insert it back so that the contacts of the SD card are correctly connected to the socket.

If the contacts of an sd flash drive are completely worn out, you can buy them for a couple of dollars and replace them yourself (of course, if you have the appropriate skills/minimum experience in repairing and replacing spare parts).

It is possible that the contacts (that is, the tracks on the board) on the phone have been erased, and for natural reasons it does not see the flash drive at all. A common reason is natural wear and tear of the phone. In this case, we recommend sending the device for repair or replacing the mobile device.

Software error, as a result of which the phone stopped seeing the memory card

Description of the problem. A certain Android program refuses to recognize the memory card. Other applications read the SD memory card and write data to the flash drive as if nothing had happened.

Solution. Android does not see the memory card, because the application settings indicate the internal memory of the smartphone/tablet as the storage source. Go to the settings of the application with which you are experiencing problems (for example, Android Gallery or camera) and specify the SD card as a successor - that is, the location where the files should be saved.

Answers to readers' questions

After updating the phone (HTC desire 620 g dual sim) microsd is not detected, the flash card is constantly lost. It happens like this: for example, I’m listening to music, and then it stops playing and the phone writes: “the file could not be opened.” At the same time, the track names can be read. What could be the reason?

Answer . Check the audio file format. The player may not be able to read files of the selected format. So the problem is not necessarily a memory card reading problem. If the file format is correct, check the memory card for errors and format it.

I inserted an SD drive into my phone (Samsung galaxy j3 2016), transferred all the photos and videos to a flash drive, and all photos and videos were deleted in the phone gallery. The files are on SD, but all new photos are saved to the device’s memory. I need it to be saved to a memory card and displayed in the gallery.

Answer. If your phone does not see the SD card, try changing the path to the successor in the application settings. It would also be a good idea to check whether your phone and the Android system recognize the memory card itself. Just in case, turn off your mobile device, take out the SD card and put it back. Turn on the device and check if the files are saved to the Samsung phone flash drive.

2. Does not read the memory card. I have Windows Phone Dual Sim 535. For a while my memory card was read, but later the phone stopped seeing it. If you move it into other devices, it is readable, but not in mine, but if you insert other memory cards into my phone, then everything is fine. Why doesn't my phone see the memory card on my mobile device?

3. I cleared the phone's memory (fly), after which it stopped reading the SD card. The computer reads it, but the SD card is not detected on the phone.

4. Prestigio phone. The phone stopped seeing the memory card. I was just sitting playing on the phone. Then I put it down for about 15-20 minutes. And when I took it, the notification “” came. I went into the settings - memory, where External storage. And there, instead of lines about how much memory there is, and how much the memory card on the phone takes up, there were only two lines.

  1. Connect SD card
  2. Clear SD card

I tried to press the first one and when I pressed it, the notification “Connecting an SD card.” And below this heading: “Checking errors” appeared for a second at the top (where the notifications are).

Answer. If the phone no longer detects the memory card, you need to check this SD card on the computer via a card reader (the device connects to the PC via a USB cable and is inexpensive). In your case, the laptop has a built-in card reader. In order for your phone or tablet to read a card or USB flash drive, you need to format it correctly using Windows or using special software We strongly recommend using free program SD Formatter for formatting flash drives is a method we have tested and often works. We hope that after formatting, your phone will see the flash memory and will be able to write files to it as before. If the card reader still does not see the memory card, all that remains is to buy a new SD card.

I have a smartphoneSamsung Galaxy Gio S-5660. About six months ago I repaired the charging socket and haven’t turned it on since then until yesterday. It still contained a SIM card and a memory card. When I turned it on, it turned out that the smartphone did not see the memory card. Before this there were no problems with it. On the memory card there are contacts, books, a bunch of photos. Why doesn’t the tablet see the flash drive and how can I revive it?

I took the device in for repair and thought that the memory card slot was not working. It turned out that it works: he immediately sees the new card.

Answer . OnSDthe card may have damaged pins or contacts (pins). If you do not notice any damage upon inspection, check the memory card for reading errors. Do not format it under any circumstances, otherwise you will not be able to recover the files.

I cleared “Phone memory-memory card” on the iPhone on Android, after which the SD card turned off. Below it says “Connect SD card”, I press it – but there is no effect. Now there is no memory (I took the phone apart, but there is no slot for a flash drive). All in all, mobile phone Doesn't see the memory card. Tell me how to return the SD card back to a working state?

Answer. If a working memory card is not visible on the device, the file table most likely contains errors. Try formatting the card using the sdformatter application. Since you are dealing with Android, the SD memory card must be formatted in Ext or Fat32.

Using the above application, I recovered photos on a Samsung SM-G 318H/DS. They remain in this application, I can’t transfer them to the gallery or to the SD card, how can I do this? Why doesn't it see the memory card?

Answer. Your question is formulated in a very florid way, so it’s difficult to say why the phone doesn’t detect the memory card. It looks like the problem is not with your phone's flash drive, but with something else. You need to copy the files to the DCIM folder on your device, then they will appear in the Gallery again.

I moved the SIM card from the tablet back to the smartphone and all the memory from the phone disappeared. What to do and whether it is possible to recover photos and contacts if the smartphone does not see the flash drive.

Answer. In your case, it's probably not so bad. You may have moved the SD card (flash drive), as a result of which it moved away from the smartphone socket. Check the connection between the slot and the phone's memory card. If contacts are missing on your smartphone’s flash drive, try importing contacts from the SIM card through the standard Android address book or synchronize contacts with your Google account.

Samsung phone Galaxy A5 2016. Inserted a 2 GB Qumo SD card (new card, just purchased) into the second slot (for the second SIM card and SD card). The phone does not see it, either simply through the phone menu, or through a cable connection to a PC. What could be the reason, is there any way to “reanimate” the memory card?

Answer. Qumo memory cards don't have a very good reputation. However, usually 2 GB cards do not have problems when connected to a phone.

To begin, connect the memory card to the computer via a card reader. If the computer does not see the memory card (the disk is not displayed in Explorer), give the card (explaining that the computer does not see the SD card) to the seller and return the money.

If the SD card is not readable only on the phone, but everything is OK on the computer, try formatting the memory card by selecting FAT as the file system.

Samsung smartphone Galaxy S5 stopped seeing USB flash drives(I saw and read before), the smartphone is almost new. Other devices, flash drives are detected without problems. Why doesn’t Android see the flash drive, how to fix the error?

Answer. There may be at least two reasons why the phone does not see the flash drive. Try to fix it like this:

1. Check if debugging is enabled on your phone (try enabling/disabling).
2. It is advisable to format the flash drive in exFAT, otherwise Android may not read its contents.

I dropped my phone and all the photos in the gallery in the camera folder disappeared from the memory card. Is it possible to somehow restore them? The remaining folders remained in their places.

Answer. Perhaps the SD card is damaged or Android does not see the SD card. Check if the SD card works if you connect it via a card reader to a PC. Another reason why the phone does not see the SD card is that the card has physically moved in the slot when dropped, so at the same time check the connection of the contacts.

As for the direct answer to the question: if the memory card is intact, you can restore the photo using any application, starting with CardRecovery and Recuva.

The problem is doubly unpleasant, because the phone was purchased a month ago. I decided to transfer some audio-video files from my old phone. The new smartphone is j7, and the old one is also Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo... The data transfer took place without any emergency situations.

About a week later I looked at the sd, and the card did not appear from my native “my files”. I looked through the RAR program, through file explorer xplore. All the folders were displayed there, but they turned out to be empty. But it’s important to add this: the phone’s memory also contained music and some video. So, they were displayed, but they were not “empty”, but refused to be reproduced - “reproduction error”. This never happened on an old phone with any sd and different ages, it certainly happened, but not this. And this recorded card can be read normally on the old phone, no problems.

For me, the main thing is, as you understand, the question is the phone, is that the reason? Such refusals to read in a month happened twice with internal memory, and four times with sidishna. Reboot - and everything is fine. But is this not at all the norm for a phone?

Answer. There may be several reasons for this behavior.

Perhaps the cause of the error lies in your method of copying files from internal memory to external memory. Try it different ways and test: for example, through a card reader on a PC, through a file manager on a phone, etc. Is the described reading error observed in all cases?

However, since you noted that there are no problems with other flash drives, then perhaps the problem is with the memory card. Who is the manufacturer, is the SD card compatible with your phone model? Read user reviews.

Third, update the software on your phone and remove unnecessary applications.

Fourth - format the SD card using the SD Formatter utility. Try different file system formats.

1. Last chance to find an answer to my problem. The Samsung galaxy not 5 (china) phone uses only its internal memory, and the flash drive is not detected. What I didn’t do... I checked the boxes, and inserted it into another mobile phone, formatted it, and this and that - it doesn’t help.

2. On the phoneSamsung Galaxy A3 memory card does not workmicrosdvolume 16 GB. For almost six months it was on the phone; all photos from the camera were automatically saved on it. The memory card has not been removed since it was placed in the slot once. I've been using the phone for almost a year. Previously there was another card with a capacity of 8 GB.

R.SI moved the card to another phone - he doesn’t see it either. And the computer doesn't recognize it either. What to do? On the flash drive are all the children's photos and videos taken over six months.

Answer. If your smartphone or tablet does not see the flash drive, the problem may be with an application that does not save files where needed. Check in the settings where the files are saved - on an SD card, flash drive or in the internal memory of your tablet/smartphone. For example, in the Android Gallery settings you can change the storage location for photos.

Re-read the article. If all else fails, then perhaps the phone does not see the microSD memory card because it is faulty.

The phone does not detect the memory card. I transferred everything to internal memory. When the card is disconnected, all files are read, but when connected, they are not. Now, when you disconnect the SD card, the internal memory is also disabled and there is nowhere to save information. Tell me what can be done if the memory card is not readable (if possible).

Answer. Did the memory card work before this time? The phone may not support this model cards.

If the SD card worked before, you may need to format your card - and it will be writable again.

The question is formulated incorrectly: you write that when you disconnect the memory card, the files are read, while you say below that the internal memory is turned off. So where are the files read from then?

1. The phone worked with a memory card. With the congratulatory video they sent a virus that could not be removed. You delete it and it appears again. I tried to reflash the phone, but it didn't work. It didn't detect any updates. After some manipulations in recovery menu he became different, discovered the updates, downloaded and installed them. It shows its own firmware, but with a more recent date.

After this, the SD card is not detected. Android does not see it and does not detect its memory. And other sd too. Without a card, the phone sees its memory and works fine. What to do if the phone does not see the SD card after a virus?

2. I put an SD card in the computer - everything reads well there, you can see. And the phone displays the message: SECURE REMOVE CARD. Why doesn't my phone see the memory card? What to do?

Answer. If the phone does not see the memory card, this may be due to damage to the file table on it. How this is related to recovery is unclear. Try formatting the SD card. If nothing changes for the better, change the firmware.

1. I bought a 4G micro flash drive for my phone, installed it in my computer via a card reader, copied the files and installed it in my phone ( Microsoft Lumia 530). After some time, I installed it again in the card reader and connected it to the computer. Windows issued a message that the device is faulty and does not read the flash drive, but everything works fine through the phone. And this happens with all USB media and devices. I checked flash on many computers before installing it on the phone - everything was OK. After installation, the memory card does not work on the computer - only through the phone.

2. I ordered a flash drive forebay(universal flash drivei- flash device). I received it yesterday, inserted it into my phone - it works, it also works on the computer.

3. I bought a 32 GB flash drive for my phone from AliExpress. It worked fine, then the photos that were saved to it were half cropped or there was a gray screen instead. Eventually it stopped being detected by the phone. The computer seems to detect it, but does not tear it off. It says something like "insert disk". I tried a lot of things that were written on the Internet, a lot of programs. Some don’t see the flash drive, some see it, but still can’t format it.Tell me how to bring her to her senses.

Answer. Format the flash drive via your phone or Recovery (we wrote about this at the beginning of the publication.

Answer. Go to Settings - Memory. Check the "SD memory card" section. Install a file manager and see if the memory card files are displayed on it.

In addition to standard formatting, you can try low-level formatting - however, not all manufacturers offer their own software for this (check the memory card website).

Another reason why the phone does not see the SD card may be the lack of contact between the memory card and the phone. Check if your device reads other flash drives. If not, take the phone to be repaired.

Answer. Try testing another SD card with your phone. If the situation repeats and the smartphone does not see the flash drive (the memory card disappears from time to time), then most likely the problem is in the phone contacts.

If another memory card works without errors, we recommend formatting the problematic card in FAT32 or exFAT - in case the phone does not see the micro SD flash drive due to errors in the file table.

The phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) does not read the memory card. I inserted three cards, and none of them are read, although they are displayed correctly on other devices. In this case, the inscription “Connect SD card”, the font of which was previously gray, becomes white and clickable, but if you click, nothing happens. All photos and pictures in the gallery (located in the phone memory) are not displayed. And applications that are not in the internal memory, but in the phone memory, do not open. Tell me what to do?

Answer. Possible failure at operating room level Android systems or installed applications. Try to manually resolve the conflict by deleting all unnecessary applications from your phone. Update the OS version to the latest through the Android settings.

If the phone still doesn’t see the memory card, check the phone’s contacts: are there any visually noticeable damages on them?

Do you write "on other devices" when you mean a computer? If yes, it is likely that the file system of the flash drive is NTFS, and you need to format it to FAT or exFat.

When I insert an SD card into the phone, the device does not recognize it. No matter what I tried: even inserted it into other phones, I still can’t see or read its contents.

Answer. There is too little information about the memory card (virtually none) to give specific advice. First, check whether your phone supports SD cards of the size that is on your card (see the documentation for your smartphone or tablet). If you just bought a memory card, you can exchange it under warranty for another one of smaller capacity.

If you have previously used this memory card and it is no longer detected on this and other mobile devices, it is most likely faulty.

1. I cleaned the card on the computer. I deleted everything from it. Now new smartphone teXet X-plus TM-5577. I inserted the Sidi card, he sees it, but nothing swings on the Sidi card and I can’t transfer anything to it. Tell me what to do?

2. The phone started to turn on on its own periodically (Lenovo A 526). Then I left the house and plugged in my headphones and noticed that not a single track was playing. Later, when I took out the phone, I discovered that the flash drive was not readable and the saved music did not play. I tried to reboot the phone - it doesn’t help, I put it in the card reader - it sees the memory card, I put it in a friend’s phone - too. But I don’t want it at all. And the most important thing that drives me crazy is the notification after turning on the phone with the phrase “Remove the MicroSD before deleting it so as not to lose data.

Answer. You need to connect the memory card to the computer again (as you did before), format the SD card in a standard way(for example, through Explorer) or using sdformatter. File system - FAT32. Most likely, it is due to incorrect formatting that the phone cannot write data to the memory card.

After a sudden shutdown, the tablet (Android 5.1) stopped normally recognizing memory cards in the card reader. It either writes, checking errors, or reads, which lasts indefinitely. At the same time, half of the programs stop responding, everything slows down wildly, and it becomes impossible to turn off the tablet (only when the discharge reaches 0 and turns it off). Sometimes (very rarely) after connecting, he sees it, but at the slightest manipulation with the card (even viewing a photo), he immediately loses it and begins to re-read it again, and this is the end. Tested on 3 flash drives, both clean and not, with different formatting and a lot of dancing with tambourines (all according to recommendations on the forums). A system rollback was performed. Nothing helped. He refuses to see the 8 gig card at all, although if you connect it via an adapter to the USB connector, everything works great (like other flash drives). What is the problem, in the card reader or in the system?

Answer. It is best to connect the problematic memory card to a laptop or, alternatively, via a USB adapter, as you mentioned. Next, the SD card needs to be formatted.

Most likely the issue is with the card reader. After a short time, many cheap card readers stop reading memory cards correctly and produce copying errors or read information slowly.

The system (Android) is unlikely to have anything to do with the problem, since you have already tested several memory cards. Perhaps it is a specific application that is slowing down the system, but this can only be determined by resetting the phone to factory settings.

Lenovo phone shot vibe, android 6. There is a 32gb sony sd card in the option as an extension of the main memory (ext4). The phone stopped seeing the file system - it says SdCard0 01/01/1970, 00 kb. Windows 7 sees two partitions - 16MB and 30GB, operational, 100% free each.

How can I return everything to its place by restoring the previous files? or at least how to pull out photos and the WhatsApp folder?

Answer. Recovery remote partition On the SD card, R.saver or AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition programs are suitable. If the file table on the partitions contains errors, you can try to fix them using the chkdsk utility for Windows. If that doesn't help, try scanning the SD card (unreadable sections) with the Recuva utility. Until you overwrite the information on the flash drive or format it, the chances of getting your files back remain high.

Samsung A3 2017 Samsung memory card 64 GB. I created folders from my computer: photos, ring notes, music, videos, movies, etc. The phone sees only audio, pictures, documents, video. Doesn't see any other folders on the memory card. What needs to be done?

Answer. Install any file manager for your phone (for example, Total Commander or ES Explorer). Create folders directly through these programs and copy everything you need there. Files should be read on the memory card without problems. It is also possible that those folders that cannot be read from the SD card are hidden or damaged. So it would be a good idea to format the card to avoid further errors.

Lenovo A2010 phone does not see the SD memory card. I tried to reboot, it says "Only one SD card is available, it is impossible to switch." Other phones do not have a card. It doesn’t show on the computer through the card reader at all. Is this really the end, so many photos and videos have disappeared? Maybe something can be done?

Answer. It looks like there are reading errors on the card or the markings have come off. Since the memory card does not open on the computer (i.e. the letter/separate drive is not displayed in the file manager), it makes sense to check whether the memory card is recognized as a device at all. To do this, go to diskmgmt.msc (Start - Run) and see if unallocated space appears when you connect the SD card to the PC. If it appears, create a new file volume in this space through the context menu. If nothing happens, most likely the SD card has failed.

Model sony phone xperia m4 aqua dual. For two years, the phone had a microSD memory card installed. Recently, glitches began to occur: at first, in order for the memory card to work, it was enough to restart the phone. Now the phone has stopped seeing the map completely. Failed to format. Installed a new one. The phone recognizes it (it’s in the settings, photos were sent to the card), but applications cannot be downloaded from the play store (it still shows the option to download only to the phone’s memory). What needs to be done in this situation with a flash drive?

Answer. Format the memory card with specialized applications - the same SDFortatter is quite suitable. Next, check the card for errors using the chkdsk tool.

After encrypting the SD card, Samsung A5 2017 stopped seeing it. Through the card reader on the computer it sees, but does not open. I tried to format (SDFormatter, cmd) - it doesn’t work. Sees other flash drives. I checked for errors - it gives an error, but does not correct it.

Answer. To check the SD card, use the following parameters:

chkdsk (drive letter): /f/r

  • /f - fix reading errors file system
  • /r - fix bad sectors on the sd card

This should fix errors and allow you to format the SD card in the standard way or through utilities like SDFormatter.

I have a Kingston DTSE3 16G USB drive, the computer doesn’t see it, the flash drive is unreadable. periodically the system displays a message stating that the device can work faster or the device is not recognized. Are there any recovery programs?

Answer. Flash drive supports USB interface 2.0. Your computer ( motherboard) may have more old version ports, which is why this message appears. Therefore, we advise you to update your PC hardware if you have not done so for a long time.

Recovery programs will not help you, but formatting the flash drive correctly (in NTFS/FAT) and then checking for errors using chkdsk will not hurt.

First of all, a telephone is a means of communication, and only then a multimedia player, a tool for surfing the Internet, a camera, etc. And if the smartphone does not accept SIM cards, its main function will not be available. Problems with SIM on Samsung Galaxy can arise for various reasons. Some of them can be eliminated on your own, while others require more professional intervention. Let's look at why Samsung doesn't see the SIM card, and what to do in a particular case.

Main causes of SIM card problems on Samsung phones

There are a lot of factors leading to the fact that the device does not see or cannot recognize the SIM card. However, all of them can be combined into three groups:

  1. Mechanical malfunctions of the mobile device. They occur when a card is frequently removed/inserted into the SIM slot, the device is damaged as a result of a strong impact, or moisture penetrates under the case.
  2. Problems related directly to the SIM card. May be due to the presence of printed circuit board scratches, chips and other mechanical defects, expiration of the SIM card or its blocking by the operator.
  3. Malfunctions operating system or installed software. Samsung may not see the SIM card after it is disabled by software, due to the installation of unofficial firmware or by deleting the IMEI number.

Let's consider each of possible options in details.

Mechanical damage to a mobile device and how to fix it

If problems arise with the operation of the SIM card, the first thing you need to remember is whether the phone was exposed to any external influences. So, if you dropped it, there is a possibility that the power amplifier, microcontroller, connector or other module may fail or become unsoldered. IN similar cases It is better to contact the service center.

If there are no prerequisites for the Samsung to break down, try the following:

Troubleshooting SIM card problems

If you determine that the source of all the troubles is the SIM card itself, it is recommended to act in the following order:

Software malfunctions

If you are the owner of a dual-SIM Samsung and the SIM card is not visible in only one of the connectors, see if the second slot is enabled in the device settings. Required function located in the "SIM Card Management" section.

There are cases when, after a smartphone is infected with a virus or its independent firmware NVRAM on it is damaged – non-volatile memory with random access. This is where the IMEI of the mobile device is stored. If you erase it, Samsung will not detect SIM cards.

To fix the problem, you will need to restore the IMEI. This can be done through the engineering menu:


After restart phone IMEI will be restored and everything should work. If this does not help get rid of the problem, all you have to do is reset all settings to factory settings or reflash your smartphone via PC and Samsung program Kies.
