Hello! I've encountered an odd problem with my micro SD card lately, and I can't figure out how to fix it.
I've used this SD card for about three years now, I use it on my mobile device for extra storage space. But overnight, my phone stopped recognizing it. I managed to get it open on my laptop (specs at the bottom of post) and none of the data on it seemed corrupted at all, I was able to transfer everything onto my laptop and I intended to format the SD card to see if it would be recognized on my phone again. However, every program I've tried has failed to format the SD card. I tried File Explorer, Windows Disk Manager, SD Card Formatter, and none of them worked. The only error message they'd give was essentially "unable to format this SD card" with no error codes or anything. I tried putting it in my phone and tablet to try and format it through there, but it also failed, staying stuck at 20% until finally saying that it couldn't format.
Is there anything I can still do?
Phone and tablet both Android 10
