SD card is write protected. Seller blames it on my porn

So I recently bought a Kingston 32gb Micro SD card at a local store. After not more than 2 weeks of use, I suddenly couldn't add or delete any file. I also can't format it through my phone or my tab.

I found out that when I tried to reformat it through my PC, it says that it's write protected. I tried all of the "fixes" in the internet, including using command prompt, regedit, and even downloading partitioning apps. I'm also sure the SD card adapter isn't turn to "lock".

Here's the problem: I tried getting it replaced in the store I bought it from. They told me they would try fixing the card first. They had me come back after a couple of days but now they're saying the reason for the write-protection was because they found porn in the card (yes, they found the hidden folder, which I couldn't delete before giving it to them because it was fucking WRITE-PROTECTED). They framed the porn downloads as the ones containing the virus that corrupted the card and now they don't want to replace it. I was embarrassed. Some customers probably heard it and thought I was this porn addict who's shit out of luck because I fapped too much.

I knew it was bullshit, that they really just didn't have any other explanation for the write-protection. But I'm still convinced that it was just a defective sd card because in all of my years of downloading porn in my past, cheaper, sd cards, I never encountered or heard or read any write-protection or virus because of downloading porn in a phone, even on shady sites.

I'm no tech guy, so I wanna ask, and just want to be reassured that porn wasn't the cause of all this debacle.

Probably had something to do with all the porn you were keeping on the card, OP.

Is it cp?

>I'm no tech guy, so I wanna ask, and just want to be reassured that porn wasn't the cause of all this debacle.
It was not. It's absolutely bullshit. Software or viruses in general can't turn an SD card readonly. The card is just broken. Broken cards often turn readonly as a consequence.

Stop downloading porn.

It's probably because of porn you downloaded.

RMA it to Kingston directly

>So I recently bought a Kingston 32gb Micro SD card at a local store.

could be a fake microsd card. These are usually 2 or 4gb cards that falsely reports a larger and more expensive size. They seem to work fine for a while then get totally corrupted.

Flash media goes read only when it's fucked, provided you can access it at all.
They're being cheap cunts and they know their product sucks.
Also they probably kept the porn and memes.

Get one from another source, anonymously.

Load it full of cheese pizzas then drop it off in the mail, anonymously.

Wait four days then call the cops and say you saw someone that worked here going through a hoard of pizza huts.

>all that over a $15 sd card
damn. you might have worn out its wear levelling causing it to go read only if you downloaded enormous amounts of porn but these things happen with flash media shit breaks sometimes

Considering he got it from a store, I doubt it's a fake chink one.
I think cards with false capacity will just corrupt instead of brick.

How much did you pay? $4?
Just forget about it.

who the fuck would even go through this much trouble for a worthless sd card, let alone post about it later on here. yikes man

Do not buy cheap SD card sir.

Just came here to say I`m an engineer designing SD cards and it was probably because of porn you downloaded. I also cant believe a retail shop would dedicate any time to attempting to fix a $4 device.

It's probably because of porn you downloaded.

Go in there and threaten to rape them like your CP rape photos on the card. Say you aren't fucking around and that they know you aren't because of the porn. Take your dick out for good measure and aim it at them while jerking it. HOLD THAT BITCH UP AND GET YOUR NEW SD CARD, NIGGA

>buying kingston
You deserve it faggot

There are a small white switch on the side setting a write protection. Just like some floppy disks

Literally,unironically, and unequivocally this

It's because of the porn, dude.

You got pornbarassed for $20?

It was probably more likely the sites you go to to download pr0n - movie files aren't generally executable.

But they literally cost that much on amazon these days, from the manufacturer

I would have just snapped it and bought a new one.

>giving back an SD card with your personal porn collection on it
Based retard

I wonder if using this sd cards to backup your stuff is cost-effective or worth.
If when broken they simply become read-only , fine by me. I just need to read the data when it's full, so I can access it whenever.
It's the same for bluray anyway (unless RW of course).

Have you tried mounting it in linux?

>32gb
Literally buy any new micro sd car. You can get a 128gb one for $40 in 2019. A 32gb one is only $10 you wasted these guys their time. Get a new one, transfer your shit, and stop being a fag.

Did you have cheese pizza on that card?

128gb are $20 now, 256gb is $40.

THIS
Done many times, they are cool about it

Kingston is fucking dogshit, had a faulty SD recently.

Idiot.

Hope you learned your lesson. Only buy Sandisk or Samsung.

This. wtf. Just beg on the side of a traffic light for 20 minutes if you're poor.

Install gentoo on it.

Only product from kingston that I trust is RAM, their storage in any form is just shit.
Buy Sandisk next time.

32gb sd cards are like 6 bucks. just buy a new one and learn how to download savely you fucking retard

trips confirm what an idiot

I've had this problem a couple of times with others brands, Sandsik, iirc.
Nothing you can do about it,Micro sd cards suck.

lmao, sue them. If you don't have the balls just RMA.

You dumbass
SD fails read only
Your SD card died
Simple as that

>op bothering a store with a $4 item
Op sounds like the type of guy who leaves 1 star reviews because he bought the wrong thing and the seller wouldn't let him have it for free

poo

...

>you should just ignore the fact you are being literally ripped off just because you are buying something cheap
Found the burgercuck

You tried diskpart?

Take it up with Kingston

Apply a voltage across the card's terminals to burn out the card, then you RMA it saying it "failed"

They won't care beyond it not working, you get shipped a replacement. Win Win.

Just having it as write protected is already enough, I returned a 128GB one to SanDisk with the same issue and they accepted.

You sound like a wageslave clerk lmao

Didn’t read your entire post but did you happen to have porn on it perchance? That’s probably what screwed your sd card

Just order one on amazon and then return the dead one

cry harder wagie

Why would OP store porn on an SD card to begin with?
Was OP storing porn so horrible that even the SD card screamed stop?

Do people actually use SD cards outside phones in 2019? I haven't used an SD card in a PC since 2007.

Raspberry pi's. Dash Cams.
Those are really the only two I think of

*dieded

Did this one post trigger op that much lmao

wagie pls

Just imagine getting this assblasted lmao
