| | SD Card "write-protected" All of a sudden, my HP laptop cannot write to any of my sd cards. It says they are write-protected although they are not. I can write to my cards on cameras but not on my laptop. I have tried the trick with the tape but it doesn't work as it seems the trouble is on the laptop. I have tons of stuff on my laptop and it's big trouble to restore it. Is it actually Windows issue or hardware? |

| | Re: SD Card "write-protected" I'd be suspicious of the hardware. The "lock" tab on the card works like the write protect of a floppy disk. The position of the lock tab is detected by the card reader. It may be defective. The only thing I can suggest it try them in another computer to verify.

| | Re: SD Card "write-protected" I had that problem with a miniSD that I put in the laptop/desktop with an adapter. The adapter went bad. I used a different adapter and the problem went away.
