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.
Caleb Roberts
It's probably because of porn you downloaded.
Mason James
RMA it to Kingston directly

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.
Christopher Bennett
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.
Elijah Evans
>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
Daniel Jenkins
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.
Josiah Myers
How much did you pay? $4? Just forget about it.
Aaron Howard
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
Liam Adams
Do not buy cheap SD card sir.
Tyler Diaz
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.
Nathan Parker
It's probably because of porn you downloaded.
Brandon Powell
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
It was probably more likely the sites you go to to download pr0n - movie files aren't generally executable.
Lucas Perry
But they literally cost that much on amazon these days, from the manufacturer
Levi Sanders
I would have just snapped it and bought a new one.
Nathan Morris
>giving back an SD card with your personal porn collection on it Based retard
Jayden Fisher
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).
Jason Anderson
Have you tried mounting it in linux?
Grayson Clark
>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.
Only product from kingston that I trust is RAM, their storage in any form is just shit. Buy Sandisk next time.
David Harris
32gb sd cards are like 6 bucks. just buy a new one and learn how to download savely you fucking retard
Blake Rogers
trips confirm what an idiot
John Watson
I've had this problem a couple of times with others brands, Sandsik, iirc. Nothing you can do about it,Micro sd cards suck.
Angel Cox
lmao, sue them. If you don't have the balls just RMA.
Cameron Taylor
You dumbass SD fails read only Your SD card died Simple as that
Carter Cook
>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
Michael Myers
poo
Carter Barnes
...
Cameron Adams
>you should just ignore the fact you are being literally ripped off just because you are buying something cheap Found the burgercuck
Jaxon Miller
You tried diskpart?
Jose Young
Take it up with Kingston
Parker Flores
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.
