The lock thingy on an SD cardSandisk Memory Card Write Protection

There's nothing electrical inside the card associated with the lock tab. It's an actuator that manipulates a write-enable switch in the reader when the tab's set to the unlocked position. A person could conceivably build up a bit of epoxy (J.B.Weld?) in the spot where a missing tab should be, taking care to keep it flush with the edge of the card body as the tab originally would have been. Use an intact card as a physical reference and there's no reason you can't make your card writable again. Switching back and forth will be the challenge!

Wow! Exactly as the write-protect tab on the VHS tapes or on the old-fashioned audio-cassettes ? It was possible to make them writable again by means of a piec of scotch-tape at that exact place.

SD Card Write Protected would not let me delete any picturesSandisk Memory Card Write ProtectionThank you sooooooooooooooo much...I had NO IDEA that the SD Card had a lock mechanism on the side of the card !! That was exactly myproblem, that I've had for so many weeks!! I was sooo confused aboutthis! It never even crossed my mind that there may be this "lock", as they use VHF tapes. Very cool to know and useful, as a parent, as well.This site was extremely helpful and I truly appreciate the user friendly, short, easy to understand advice - as I'm sure others do as well.Once again, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!

heres ur solutn man!!!!Sandisk Memory Card Write Protection

I was too suffering frm the same problem and thats why I can understand your feelings...

I had tred almost every sol. Nd checked almost every site,butof no use.

TRYY THISS...

TAPE your lock switch so that it DOES NOT move. And then insert your micro sd card in the adapter

and insert that adapter into your laptop .. Then the WRITE PROTECTION message will no longer come as in my case..

the REASON for this taping is that my laptop slot fot adapter was LOOSE and when I insrtd it the switch again came down which got it locked and v can't even realizze it

try it

nd try to reply and tell if your problem solved or not, GUD LUCK!

after trying covering up the switch on the disk it still says write protected!Sandisk Memory Card Write Protection

I covered up the switch on my disk and it still states write protected. This is getting old.What else, where else can I go or do. Every time I want to delete a pic after inserting the disk into the computer and pushing delete it comes up with the write protection msg. I have clicked the deal to NOT lock. I have clicked lock and clicked it back. I am at my wits end.

I don't know what's wrong with it!1) I checked for the lock on the adaptor & its always up,2) I also did the "run" "regidit" & when I right click it, the "format" is not highlighted so therefore I can't click it.3)I also tried the path for "administrative tools" & it doesn't work as well.4) & last but not least I also tried the "safely remove" twice & it didn't work but now it doesn't want to open at all in the computer!I NEED HELP!
