SD Card Sectors are not identical!

#1 Post by AhmadlightXV »

Hi,

I have a Transcend 64GB MicroSD Card. Yesterday, it suddenly showed as corrupted on my phone and I'm not able to format it using my computer (using memory adapter).

I used TestDisk but I got the following:

I tried to format it using my tablet, my phone, even I tried all of these tools on the computer but none of them worked

Quick Format
Full Format
Disk Part
SDFormatter
EaseUS Partition Master
MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition
Ubuntu Gparted
BOOTICE - This is the first sector shown by BOOTICE

Image

HDD Low Level Format Tool - Shows no serial number

I have a recent backup, so I don't care about the data.
Is this physically damaged SD Card, or it can be fixed?

As formating the card didn't work, it looks like an hardware problem. You should replace the SD card.

In this case I'll try to claim my warranty...
