SD card suddenly unsupported

[Lethal42]

Hi, I have started getting notifications on my A51 that the 32gb samsung sd card is unexpected 'unsupported'.

Have been using the card for roughly 2 years, and it is no-where near full.

Have extracted it, wiped and tried inserting after flipping (sideways only of course), to no avail.

It is now re-seated the appropriate way, and the notifications continue`.

Would appreciate some guidance.

thx all

There are a few possible reasons why your Samsung A51 might be showing the "unsupported SD card" notification for your 32GB Samsung SD card, even though it's been working fine for the past two years. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
* Restart your phone: This is a simple but often effective troubleshooting step. A restart can clear up any temporary glitches that might be causing the problem.
* Check for software updates: Make sure your phone's software is up to date. Software updates can sometimes include fixes for compatibility issues with SD cards.
* Format the SD card (as a last resort): Formatting will erase all data on the SD card, so be sure to back up any important files before you proceed. You can format the SD card from your phone's settings menu.
If none of these steps work, it's possible that the SD card itself is damaged. You can try using the SD card in another device to see if it works there. If it doesn't, then you'll need to replace the SD card.

Hi TimWalker_88,

Apols for the delayed response.

Had a Hec of a job finding  a way to read and reply on a a PC?!?!

All software is up to date and I have restarted a number of times since, and each time the SD card does not show up in either 'files' files by google', or even 'app2SD pro'.

What I might do is use a new card reader I have recently purchased and see if the Desktop PC can read it.

Let u know how it goes.

Hi TimWalker_88.

Thanks for the response.

Phone has been restarted a couple of times for other purposes, so i assume that would tick this one off, all software IS up to date.

Format? I may try a card reader firstly on my pc with this sd card.

Still very disappointing, that a branded product would fail suddenly like this...you could expect that from an same brand SSD.

Hmm Nothing lasts forever.

Will keep you updated.
