I wanted to put some stuff from my intern-memory on my micro-sd. it worked fine untill a few weeks ago. Now I can't put any music-pictures whatever on it. I still can see pictures and still can listen to music. I tried to move files on my pc with my phone connected but it also did not work. finally I tried putting my micro-sd in a sd-card (reader?) but when I click on the card's thumbnail windows wont respond.

I'm very sure it's broken since a different micro-sd works fine on my laptop and phone. Does anyone know any solution to get my files back?

Hey there, Miepie.

Unfortunately with flash memory (the kind of memory the SD card is using) it's difficult for data to be recovered once the device has failed. You could give it a go with data recovery software and hope for the best: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/filerecovery/tp/free-file-recovery-programs.htm.
Another option would be to try and boot to Ubuntu Live USB/DVD, to see if that OS can recognize the memory card properly and access it.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
