The SD Card serves different useful purposes. One of such purposes is used as expanded storage for your mobile device. An SD Card can store all sorts of files, but most especially photos or videos.

Although it is useful,  it is susceptible to being corrupted. Once your SD card gets corrupted it becomes unreadable on your device and any other device. Here is how to know if your SD card is corrupted and how to fix it.

  • You realize some or all of your files/photos are missing.
  • Your device throws up an error while trying to open a file from the SD card.
  • Error messages like “check your SD card before inserting it”.
