I don’t have a clue about the mechanism for this miracle micro-SD recovery, but I hope somebody else might benefit from my experience. I plan to buy another card for the phone and use this one for long-term storage, but I’ve learned how important it is to maintain a current backup (cloud or another medium) for the removable as well as the internal storage on my phone! When the data seemed to continue to be accessible, as opposed to the earlier report (which said that the card quickly became unrecognizable again), I re-installed the card in my phone - and it has behaved correctly since. No replies to this yet, but I have exciting news! Based on info from an earlier post in which someone noted that a micro-SD card which had been unrecognized on his phone and computer suddenly re-appeared after several hours sitting in the card reader on his computer, I left my card in the SanDisk adapter on my PC and HOPED! After ~1 wk of sitting there unrecognized through many hours of operation and multiple re-boots for various reasons, the card suddenly appeared in Windows Explorer!! I immediately successfully copied the contents to my hard drive (recovering all the precious pictures I thought were lost!). Any recommendations about most reliable recovery vendors? And, everybody says they’re expensive - HOW MUCH? Happy Holidays to all those without this problem! The card is not detected, so there’s no way to use recovery software. Tried re-seating the card several times and also tried reading it on laptop SD slot and on 3 different USB adaptors - NO JOY (and it’s Christmas!!). The card was working fine in the phone until that message. This HP laptop comes with 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD, however. While transferring video of grandson’s first steps to card, got message from phone saying that SD card had been removed, and that I should have unmounted it first. Read to find the top 10 laptop models under 40000 along with their specifications, price. Ran out of system memory on LG, so transferred all pics to same 32 GB micro-SD - and hadn’t yet backed up :-(.

Successfully transferred card and all data from previous HTC phone 3 mo ago. Same issue happened 2 days ago in LG D415. Re: 32GB Sandisk Micro SD suddenly stopped being recognized by Galaxy S3 phone So the first thing you should do it check that your drivers are in good health. Certainly no guarantee(!), but my miracle might not be a unique occurrence and might help others recover invaluable data. Why is my HP laptop not reading my SD card The most common cause of an unrecognized SD card is a faulty, incorrect or outdated card reader driver. Hope this, that I just posted elsewhere on this forum, might help you and others with un-detected SD cards.
