Further, if the error still persists after replacing the SD card, then try and clean the contacts on the device either by blowing on them yourself or with a can of compressed air using very short spurts.‘I dropped my iPhone and broke it. Still, in the event the other causes are ruled out, more often than not it is probably the SD card that’s causing the error in the first place. Please remember that most often when an error pops up, you will have to figure it out for yourself what is the cause of the error, as little computers that are in devices like digital cameras, for instance, aren’t exactly the most user-friendly. However, with the advance in technology, the latest devices report an on-screen error such as, “CARD READ FAILURE”, or show an on-screen red icon with a picture of a card with a slash through it notifying outright that there is a problem with the card and needs to be replaced. In most cases, it is always a memory card fault. However, this error does not give more information such as where, how and when. Older devices in earlier days that used SD would report “system failure” in case of a card failure. Generally, majority of the SD cards are not designed to notify any errors.

For instance, you can plug your digital camera into your PC via USB cable to get data and photos off the SD card without ever physically removing it from the device. Alternatively, you can use the USB cable to get off the data stored on the SD card. The simple solution to avoid SD card failure is to simply not move it. PRECAUTIONS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO AVOID CONTACT FAILURE As a result, contact points can go bad on the card and the device both in turn wearing out the SD card. The click-in/click-out method of mounting an SD card is the likely reason for bad contacts due to the frequently inserting and removing of the card. Lastly, in Method 3, it is very doubtful that the device is at fault because at no time there is significant pressure applied on the card, except for the “flap-and-click” where the card is laid down, pulled over the flap, then the flap is pulled with the finger and the contacts are clicked into place. In Method 2, there are chances that the device could be at fault, as considerable amount of pressure is put on the card and contacts due to the click-in/click-out methods of mounting cards used. In Method 1, since there is hardly any pressure applied while placing a SD card in a device, it rules out the possibility of device’s fault as it requires only minimal effort to place the SD card in and remove it out. Method 3: Used mostly in smartphones, in this method, the card is placed down and then “sealed” into place with a metal flap by moving it into place manually. Method 2: This technique is used by digital cameras/camcorders a lot, wherein the card slides in with the help of a spring instrument to hold it in place, such as a push-and-click-in/push-and-click-out, to hold it in place.

Method 1: Used by mainly many PC multi-card readers, in this method, the card slides into its slot without any spring tool to hold it in.
