How To Fix An Unreadable Sd Card Without Formatting It
SD Card is an external storage that is often used on cellphones. SD Card is very reliable if the storage on a cellphone is not too large, because with SD Card it can mean our cellphone has more storage. But this will be very worrying if our SD card that stores important files is suddenly unreadable. Then how to fix it? Does it have to be formatted which also means we lose important files on our cellphone?
Indeed, SD cards often experience problems where suddenly the SD card is not readable and the data stored is very important without us ever backing up the data. This is very worrying where our important data cannot be accessed because of problems with the SD card.
Often the only way to make the SD Card readable again is by formatting it which has the consequence that our important data will be completely lost if it has never been backed up.
However, we don't need to panic because there are still several ways without having to format to make the SD Card readable again by our cellphone. Here are the ways that can be attempted:
1. Clean the SD Card
One of the reasons why the SD Card cannot be read is because it is dirty, therefore we need to try to clean it. Clean the copper plate at the end of the SD Card using a soft cloth or cotton until it is clean. Do not add any liquid when cleaning the copper plate, instead of making it cleaner it will make the SD Card even more damaged. It is not recommended to clean the copper plate using hard or rough objects, because the copper slab is prone to scratches.
2. Install the SD Card on Another Device
Often there are cases where the SD Card is not read on a type of cellphone while in another cellphone the SD Card is readable, this does not mean that the SD Card is damaged but indeed does not match one type of handpdhone, SD Card capacity that is too high also sometimes cannot be read on some types of cellphones. Therefore, if you have a new cellphone and your SD Card cannot be read while the old cellphone is readable, it means that the SD Card is not compatible with your new cellphone.
3. Repair SD Card via Computer
Repairing an SD Card via a computer is the last effort that you can do yourself to restore the normal function of your SD Card and the method is as follows:
- Insert the SD Card with a card reader on a PC or computer.
- Open Windows Explorer and then select File Explorer
- After that, right-click on the memory card drive and then select the Properties section
- Then all you have to do is select the Tools section and click on the Check Now column
- Check the column that says automatically fix system errors
- Then scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
- Click start and wait for the process to finish.
If the three methods cannot make your SD Card readable again, the last way you have to do is format your SD Card, of course with the consequence of losing data on the SD Card. Therefore, even though there are ways to make the SD Card readable again without having to be formatted, you still have to back up the data from the SD Card to avoid unwanted things.
