Greetings All,
Never have poscted in this forum before.....
I have a Trac-Phone (no current service as of a few years ago and believe uses Android OS) that I made sure was turned off and remained off for 15 minutes.... I removed the very small 32gb SD Card from the phone and, after about 30 minutes of time,
re-inserted it back into the turned off phone........HEREIN LIES THE START OF MY PROBLEMS...
The cell phone indicates that the sd card is EMPTY!........Yes, I do have the sd card to be "mounted" yet, is blank.....There is NO physical damage to the card and cell battery is charged up of course.
I have a few Windows Xp computers as well as a WIndows 10 (64bit) laptop I am using which does not have a "reader" slot/port in it.......I purchased 2 "flash drive looking" readers that 2 or 3 different size cards would slide into....This adapter/reader would in turn, slide into a USB slot on the computer....
I somehow got the comuter to recognize the "reader' BUT, when I slide the sd card into the computer, the drive icon disappears and "that's that"......I had even started out placing the card in the reader/adapter and THEN plugged it into the usb port and same thing happened with BOTH adapters-readers I have......It seems that I could not utilize any "recovery" software since the computer doesn't recognize the adapter WITH the sd card inserted.
What is going on and how do I retrieve the info (picts, etc) from the sd card if possible?......Again, the card has no physical damage and, was working fine when I removed it from phone....Thanks for any assistance!
