For instance, I’d prefer to not have it fail physically in my laptop, but in an external card reader I could tear apart if needed, I’ll use it. That said, I’d recommend this fix for rescue, but I’m not sure I’d call the card reliable for everyday use. It sort of works… in some SD readers, but not all. I ended up using a bit of super glue to hold the chip in place, and then adding electrical tape to it to shim it a bit so it would fit right into the SD card slot… It printed pretty quickly, since it’s small and flat. What else to do but 3D print replacements! I found a few models, and chose this Replacement SD Card Case to print. (She also bought a new SD card to replace it.) So now I had two of the “chips” from SD cards with no cases… Meaning… it worked! I did warn her to just copy all files off it, and not to rely on it for the future. She headed out to the store, found one, brought it to me, and five minutes later, Bob was your uncle. Then I tried the card that came with my 3D printer, since it was only 4GB, and that did not work… I eventually told her that she might have to purchase an exact match so the chip would fit right… I first cut in half a micro SD card adapter (since I have a lot of them) but that was no good. She brought the card to me, and I told her I’ve read that you can cut the card in half, remove the “chip” and insert it into a new card.
The photo above shows some of the carnage that ensued. She did note that it was a little “damaged” on the corner… Seems she was shooting photos all day on Friday and when inserting the SD card from her camera into her computer (and another computer, and then her camera again) it would not mount. I got a frantic message from my daughter Saturday morning.
