Common Causes of SD Memory Card Data Loss

SD cards can lose your photos and videos for a wide range of reasons. Some SD cards experience data loss due to physical damage, others endure internal corruption, and some lose pictures due to user error. 

Some of the most common SD card data loss cases result from:

• Corrupt files
• Damaged cameras
• Reformatted SD cards
• Water, fire, or other physical damage
• Accidental file deletion
• Electrical damage

Similarly, users may see the following errors that indicate data loss:

• Card not detected
• Card not recognized by the device
• Missing photos
• Damaged photos (missing pixels, grayed-out appearance, lines running through image)

What to Do When Your SD Memory Card Becomes Corrupt

If you notice damaged or missing photos on your SD card, you may feel tempted to try to fix the problem yourself. However, the last thing you want is to damage your SD card further or accidentally delete more photos. 

Instead, the best way to recover your photos and prevent future loss is to:

1. Turn off the camera: Hold down the power button to turn off your camera or smartphone. Doing so will prevent any future activity from damaging the card further. 
2. Remove the card: If your card is still in your digital camera or smartphone, carefully remove it from the device. Try not to force the card if it appears stuck— you do not want to cause any more physical damage. If you cannot get the card out of your device, you can drop off the device or ship it out to our recovery center for assistance. 
3. Place the card in a safe location: Secure the SD card in its plastic case, a small bag, or a box. 
4. Contact us: Call 617-491-1001 or email us at TechFusion to learn more about our data recovery process and how to get your SD card to our recovery center. 

Tips To Prevent Memory Card File Loss

SD data card corruption is a common occurrence, and sometimes data loss is unpreventable. However, we recommend following these tips to minimize your risk of potential failure and take the best care of your SD card:

• Transfer photos off the card: The most critical step in preventing data loss is transferring your pictures and videos from your SD card. If anything happens to your card in the future, you will still have your photos in another safe location. 
• Back up photos in a cloud-based system: Another crucial way to prevent data loss is to upload your images to a cloud-based storage system, such as iCloud or Google Photos. Doing so will allow you to access your photos and videos from any mobile browser, dramatically decreasing the chance of data loss. 
• Use the “Eject” command to remove the card safely: Once you finish backing up your photos on your computer, right-click the SD card icon and select “Eject.” You can now remove the card without risking accidental deletion or corruption. 
• Store your card in a cool, dry place: Hot, cold, or humid weather conditions can damage your SD card. We recommend storing your card in a cool, dry location and limiting exposure to harsh weather conditions.
