How do you remove the write protection from your Lexar microSD memory card?

User Avatar

Asked by Melisamarie123

If you are using it with the SD adaptor, the swith at the side marked lock is not to secure the micro sd card within the adaptor. This is the write protection. If you set this to the 'unlocked' position (up) then you should be able to write files onto it! very good thanks

How much storage does a memory card have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think I am answering this correctly. Memory is also called RAM or DDRAM, SDRAM etc. 512MB of memory is 512MB of memory. If you check the back of your software cases you will notice that it gives you the system minimum and recommended for memory required. Example windows 7 recommends 1GB of system memory minimum to install and run.

If you are using a laptop computer with an inbuilt card reader, just insert your SD card & you will be able to see the card memory in your 'My Computer'.

1. You can copy the pictures by selecting & Ctrl+C & then Right-click --> Send To--> <SD Card>

2. Or after copying the picture, double-click on the SD Card icon in your 'My Computer' screen & paste the pictures by Ctrl+V.

If you have a desktop computer, you will need a 'Card Reader', to read your SD Card's memory.

How to download songs in memory card?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Insert your flash-memory-card into the appropriate reader on your computer. Your computer will automatically locate and format, if necessary, this card. The first step would be to locate your music on your harddrive. For Windows users, it will most likely be in My Music, which is linked from the Start Button. Find the files you wish to copy, and select them while holding the CTRL button each time you click on a file. This will allow you to select multiple files that are not right next to each other. Please not that holding CTRL does not interefere with the operations of clicking and dragging a selection rectangle. Once you've selected all the files you're interested in, click Edit from the current window's toolbar and click Copy. Now, navigate to My Computer from your Start Button or Desktop. You will see an icon saying something along the lines of "removable flash drive". It may have been named such as "Sony 8GB Traveler" or "U3 Drive", but it will have a descriptor next to it identifying it as your removable flash card. Open the card, then right click, and Paste the files where you want them to go. Linux users will not need instructions on this, and I am not qualified to supply Mac oriented directions. Hope this helps!

What type of file system is used by SDXC memory cards?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most memory cards are formatted with any denomination of the FAT file system (the most commonplace nowadays being FAT32, with a select few opting for exFAT - but not everything supports exFAT). However, you can format the volume with whatever filesystem you desire and what your requirements need (FAT, NTFS, EXT2/3/4, ReiserFS, HFS/HFS+, and so on)

How do you copy memory card to memory card?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

HI.

let 's define the SD memory card as a portable disk which is meant to carry different types of files and data. there are also other types of cards like MMC, micro Sd, mini SD...

In order to copy data from your computer to the SD card, a connection should be established first.

there are mainly two known ways of connecting the Card to the Computer.

1. Connect via USB Data Transfer Cable : your SD card should be in it's support (the device that is supporting it, for example a mobile phone...) then the support is linked to the computer via the USB cable.

2. Transfer via Card reader : A device which resembles the slot entries found in satellite receivers. you simply plug your SD card into the entry "SD Card" and it's done, the computer will read it.

Once your Operating System (it should be Windows XP, Vista or Linux) has detected the plugged SD card it will automatically open it in a new window, you can simply drug and drop from the computer to the SD card by dropping the selected files (from compter) inside the SD card open window.

I hope that te answer helps you.

How do you remove write protection from a mini SD card?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Removing the Write Protection Depends on the Source of the Problem.

Broadly speaking, it can be any of the following scenarios

  1. There is a write-protection tab on the mini sd card HOLDER. Every time you insert this into your PC or card holder, this tab slides to the write protect position. Either keep resetting, inserting & reinserting until it doesn't slide or tape it down.
  2. There is nothing wrong with the mini sd card. Simply locate the write protection key and push it.
  3. The mini sd card has some error: Go for a low level formatting.
  4. The card has virus: Remove the virus. The link for the steps is present in the related link at the bottom of the article.

There is an easy way to solve this problem: Simply put the yellow lock in the middle of its slider. No sticky tape required, as shown below. But if your still having the same problem i suggest you try the sticky tape.

Problem is only that small moveable yellow lock switch is not making, just put sellotape over it maybe two layers needed to make switch.

Even though what is written below may work, the problem is probably that on the card reader (if you have one) there is a small switch that has lock written on the side. If this is pushed down, the drive is write protected, push it in the opposite direction and it may fix your problem I had the same problem with several cards but eventually found a way around it. DON'T buy a new one!

Make sure the SD card lock is 'off' and then use thin, opaque sticky tape (ie non see-through; eg insulation tape) to cover the whole gap but keep clear of the metal contacts at the back.

Your card should work fine now.

Additional Information:

  • Reason #1: The mechanical lock switch accidentally moves to the "locked" position during insertion due to the poor quality of the switch. Hence, by taping it, you are actually preventing the lock switch to travel towards the lock position. i.e. downwards.
  • Reason #2: If the above fails, it is likely your SD card reader/writer's fault. But don't discard it or buy a new one yet. Allow me to explain the mechanical design of the SD card lock mechanism. So that you may choose to repair it if you want to. You will need a small paper clip and screw-driver to open your card reader. (Don't proceed if your card reader is still under warranty, please return/exchange with manufacturer) There is a mechanical switch very much like a micro push button (I wish I could show you the picture/drawing). Anyway, depending on the position of the lock switch. You either push or release this micro push button inside the SD card reader.

Due to mechanical wear and tear, or some forceful insertion of the SD card, the micro push button is in its "open" circuit position, i.e. write-protected. In order to make the SD card reader writable, we will need to "close" the circuit. (Note: this is an irreversible process as I will be telling you how to remove the write-protection feature of your SD card reader. Once you do this, you would be unable to use the SD card lock switch to lock your data. So, just be careful not to accidentally delete your data)

To proceed, you need to remove the main circuit board from the SD card reader/writer enclosure. The location of the micro push button switch is the same location as the unlock position of the SD card when inserted in the SD card reader/writer. From the BACK of the exposed SD card reader, insert the unfolded paper clip (same way when you try to poke something like a device reset button) except, that it has to be long enough to allow the micro switch to touch together for contact. Then insert the SD card. Once the contact is "closed", your SD card reader/writer can write again. I understand that without a drawing, this may not be very helpful. Please provide suggestions or better explanation if you can. Thanks.

Or, just tape the lock switch to unlocked. This also works for SD cards in normal size. back up all the files u have on ur card then follow these steps

1. Go to Control Panel

2. Go to Administrative tools

3. Go to Computer management

4. From the tree menu on the left select Disk Management

5. Now on the right side you will have a list of all storage devices connected to your computer. Select the one that is your mini SD card. BE CAREFUL WHEN CHOOSING THIS BECAUSE YOU COULD FORMAT YOUR HARDDRIVE. Double check the name in My Computer

6. Right click on the SD card and select format. A new window will pop up showing format options. Select FAT32 from the file system drop down and check the quick format option and then click on OK

7. Enjoy your mini SD card without that annoying write protection

Where does the memory card go in the ds lite?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That all depends, if it's a laptop, it most likely goes on the side .. If it's a desktop, some have a slot and some don't. If there is a slot, it would be in the front of the computer.

If you aren't talking about SD cards or mmc cards or whatever else cameras use, and you are talking about a RAM card, then you have to turn off the computer, open up the casing, and stick it into it's slot on the motherboard.
