I have a micro SD card that's 32GB. It was working fine in my dashcam. Took it out to get a video and wanted to wipe it before reinstalling.
Formatting on windows 10 pro 64bit machine, 'something' happened. Now windows, disk management, diskpart show it as 120MB?

I searched for how to fix wrong size SD card and someone suggested TestDisk.
(other posts using diskpart, other apps, etc. all failed).

Not sure how I tell the app how to tell it to fix the geometry of the disk (that's the issue, right? the geometry is wrong?
I don't have data I need.
There's no partition on it.

THANKS!

No, Testdisk can't help. Your card is broken.
