Hi folks,
My favorite microSD card, an 8 GB Class 10 brand name card, suddenly died. I tested it in a camera yesterday before heading out to the field to fly a few.
Got to the field, turned on the keycam, and it acted all wonky. Set it aside and investigated it when I got home.
The card doesn't seem to register whatsoever in any device I put it in. I've got an SD card adaptor for the computer; it's not seen there. Doesn't show up in any of my several cameras.
Sure, it's just a replaceable electronic bit, but it has some history: it was part of a keycam that hung in a tree for three months, eventually recovered with memory intact when the rocket was recovered. It worked fine for several months after that.
I've checked the contacts area; clean and shiny. Went over them lightly with an eraser just to make sure there was no invisible gunk preventing contact.
I'm not aware of anything else I can do but figured maybe someone here would have an idea.
Thoughts?
Marc
