Reasons why Android does not recognize SD card
If your SD card cannot be read, you should first consider whether it has suffered physical damage. Examples include external rupture, deformation due to high temperatures, prolonged immersion in water, and accumulated dirt. If you don’t see any external damage, you may have a virus that has corrupted your internal data. Next, it cannot be ruled out that the card or smartphone may be damaged.
One important fact is that SD cards only have a lifespan of 2-3 years. If used for too long, data may be lost or cannot be read due to aging. Therefore, it is a good habit to back up your data regularly and replace your SD card with a new one when it reaches the end of its lifespan.
Solution 1. Reinsert the SD card
Power off your Android device and remove the SD card. First, check whether the SD card itself is damaged or not. Then, check the connection parts for dirt. After cleaning it, plug it into your phone again, turn on your phone and see if it can read.
Solution 2: Try inserting the SD card into another device
It may be a device-side issue, so try inserting the SD card into your computer or other smartphone. If the file cannot be read, there may be a problem with the SD card.
Measure 3: Recover SD card data using dedicated software DrodKit If your SD card gets corrupted and you lose all your saved data and files, we recommend you to use the professional data recovery software DrodKit to get your data back.
Below are the specific steps.
Step1. Download DrodKit on your computer and launch it.

Measure 4. Consult with a vendor
If your SD card is infected with a virus, you usually cannot repair it yourself without professional knowledge. In such cases, one solution is to hire a data recovery company.
However, there are differences in restoration techniques depending on the company, and it takes time and money to hire a company, so be sure to choose a company with high technical skills. Also, it may be costly, so we recommend that you try it on your own using Measure 3 first.

Even if you do not use the SD card for a long time, its lifespan will gradually shorten. Therefore
Once data has been saved, please do not leave it unattended for a long period of time.
Rather than using an SD card alone, it is more effective to use it in conjunction with a device.
2. Be careful about the storage environment and how you use it. If stored in a place with high temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight, and no ventilation, parts will easily deteriorate. Also, the SD card is thin and the terminals are exposed, so rough handling can lead to damage. We recommend that you use SD cards as carefully as possible.
