External SD Card not detected :(

[bett3r]

Help! My SD card external storage suddenly not detected. Of course I tried to restart, remove it and insert then restart again but nothing works. Nothing peculiar happened, I was leaving my phone while watching TV and when I want to check my file it's just not there. I'm using Note 8 on Android 9 with 128 GB SanDisk micro external storage. 

Any suggestions?

I formatted it, still not detected. I already ordered new SD cards. This time it's a Samsung, I learned my lesson buying from SanDisk 😕

most likely that your contact pins are bent or dirty inside the slot.

I tested it with other SD cards it reads well. Mine is just busted is all

Hi Mmistry,
Please remove and reinsert the SD card in its slot and check. If the issue persists, connect your SD card to your PC and check. If it is working with another phone or PC, then format the SD card after backing up the data on your PC. You can verify your phone with different SD cards to diagnose the issue. You can use the SD card up to 1TB.
