So, I can tell from all the searching I've done that this can be a common problem, especially for Samsung devices. However, after I've tried all the "solutions" I've found, I've succumbed to nothing and am here today looking for 1) a different solution for a situation or, if it is the case, 2) a confirmation my SD card is pooped.
The problem:
So, my micro SD Card is doing the "blank SD card" error on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. The card in question is a SanDisk Ultra Plus 32GB MicroSD Card. I had about 700+ songs on it, and moved some of my phone apps onto it and that's it. It was all working fine for me for about two months, and then a few nights ago at my friend's house, whilst I was listening to music it stopped play the media and I got the "media playback error" from my app. I also noticed an SD card logo that said failed to read card or something like that. I checked the storage settings, to find my card wasn't mounted and it asked me to mount it. I pressed it, it gave me the Blank SD Card error. It did this with every reboot. I even tried taking it out for several minutes and replacing, and etc.
Now, I didn't lose hope until I tried checking it out on my PC. I put the card in the adapted, and the drive showed up on my explorer. When I tried to open it, my computer said "Please insert a disk into (drive)." And yes, it wasn't locked. Tried to format it with its default settings, it would go for a second and then I'd get the error "Windows cannot complete the format. Please try again" - got this every time. Checking the properties of the card, it said there were 0 bytes free out of a total of 0 bytes.
I tried every solution I could find online from the reboots, cleanings, chkdsk option, formatting, etc., and I'm getting no results. Is there any other way to fix this, or is the card a goner?
Thanks.
