Sd card not recognized on any device.

[Android Central Question]

My micro sd card (sandisk 128 gb) isn't recognized by my phone anymore, it started yesterday, I wanted to take it out off the phone, but I just forgot how to take it off, so I scratched it a little, then I figured out how to take it, I just had to push it a little then it comes out, so I took it off then put it back in the phone, although now the phone can't recognize it at all, it says "no sd card inserted", I tried to put it on other devices but the same thing happened, no device was able to recognize it, so does that mean I can no longer use it? it had valuable data, photos, videos, a lot of things important to me, so if it won't work any more, can I at least get my data back? I really don't want to lose it, please help me.

Welcome to Android Central! The card has probably failed or become corrupt. SD cards have a finite lifespan, so you should never rely on a card as the single storage location for important data.

[me just saying]

did you try it in a computer? if it don't work on computer either, you can try a chkdsk to get it working. see the following site. word of warning, there is no guarantee your files will be recoverable no matter what you do.

Good idea -- FYI, one of our previous Ambassadors also wrote up a guide on that: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html
