Does anyone have advice regarding a card reader not reading a micro sd card?For more context, it was delivered by mail and seems like it may have been dropped (an ever so slight bump/rise to it)Local data recovery place is quoting anywhere from 800 to 2gs, which is simply out of the question due to a lack of funds.
>>4511949Flash memory is pretty resistant to physical damage as long as the chips themselves weren't cracked, and the electrical contacts of the card aren't completely sandblasted off. SD cards WILL (not might, WILL) fail anywhere between 6 months and 5 years into their used lifespan under normal circumstances, so if your card is cheap and shit you might be SoL.Seeing as you're talking about data recovery, I'm guessing this was something that had photos on it that you sent away? If I were you I'd spend the $10 on a new SD card reader to rule that out as the culprit as there are many out-of-spec and chingneseum readers that will just fail because the ambient sea level pressure rose 1.3 kPa.I've also had an amazon-tier card reader fail to read my beefier UHS-II spec cards despite the fact they're just supposed to fall back to the highest supported speed.Buy a new reader and report back OP.
