Droid won't read SD card

Benni · 06-20-2010, 10:06 PM

I removed the SD card from the phone to test out a different sd card, which the phone read. when i switched it back, the phone would not read the original and states "Removed SD card. SD card removed. Insert a new one." how do i get the phone to read the card again without erasing everything that is on it?

this is a Motorola Droid, by the way.

go to your settings, then SD card & phone storage. Click unmount sd card, and then click mount sd card.

try that

Actually the fix is very simple....
there is a rectangular window where you install the SD card... if you can see the card in this lil window then you have installed the card wrong.. you should see chrome here... the card MUST sit under the chrome to read. simply pull it out and push it back in slowly maneuvering under it. The little hold down should not be touching the card...

I'm having the same problem with my SD card. I made sure it was inserted into the card slot correctly and i received a notice that now said the sd card is blank! I tried to mount/unmount the card and when it said I may remove the card, I redid it, this time trying to format the card. No such luck. It will state that if format the card everything will be erased. So I tried clicking erase and it brought me back to the page where I can either mount or format the card. I'm stuck....*sigh* Quite frustrating.

Yeah, I ended up switching it out for a new one because it was suddenly unreadable. I couldn't do any of those things on the phone because the phone did not know it was in. It also wouldn't read on my computer. Somehow it got zapped. I was told this happens often because after manufacturing, they are not checked for quality.
Oh well.

Ok, my phone slipped out of my pocket and hit the floor.

Nothing bad happened to it, but suddenly it said that i didn't have a SD card. I flipped thinking it might've slipped out but when I checked, it was still there. I tried the mount/unmount thing,

and it won't connect to my computer either.
I've even removed the card just to make sure it was put back but it still doesn't read it.

What do I do?

I've been thinking about taking the card out and putting into a tablet or something since that looks like it may work,

but does this mean I need to get a new memory card for my phone? ( and if I do, how much would it cost me?)
