What should I do if the microSD card is readable but not writable through the card reader/hub/dock?

Modified on Wed, 22 Feb, 2023 at 8:57 AM



When you plug a microSD card into the card reader/hub/dock’s micro SD port, the card should recognize your laptop, but if it is in write-protection mode, you can browse the files on this card but cannot copy, transfer or delete the files. This issue may be caused by the connected laptop, microSD card, or the card reader/hub/dock.

 

Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help you locate and resolve the problem.

 

For laptops:

  • Try a different laptop with a different operating system (OS) to see if the issue persists.

 

For microSD cards:

  • Back up the data, format the card (choose format “exFAT”) and try again.
  • Try a different microSD card.

 

For hubs/docks:

  • Try with a different hub/dock with an SD port to see whether the SD card can work well.
