So yesterday, my micro sd card in my phone randomly quit on me and now says its corrupted. So i took it out and put it in a usb adapter to see if i can salvage my pictures and videos on my desktop. It at first recognizes it and seems to be loading all the files, then for a brief half a second the bar where it shows how much storage I've used appears, turns red, then disappears. I've looked in device management, used several free software programs to recover and it simply isn't showing up. I've also tried to do the cmd prompt to try to fix it and it can't find it. I've put it in a sd card adapter and plugged it into my laptop and the same thing happens there.
I know common sense says it's a completely dead card and I'm basically SOL. But if it were truly dead, why is it able to recognize for a brief second how much storage is on there and how much I've used? FYI it's almost full.
I'm desperate to get those pictures back because it happened while I was on a trip, and while I do have a backup on some of those pictures, I'm still missing several hundred.
