Error on Micro SD While taking picture. Micro SD Undetected.

Hello this is my first time using a Micro SD, my last phone was Xperia S. While I was taking picture I got an error, my phone does not detect my Micro SD and also my Laptop can't detect it. It's a 32GIG Transcender. My phone is fine but no more Micro SD. 

Anyone knows what to do and how to fix an undetected Micro SD? This is my first time using a Micro SD. 

Thanks!

The SD card might be corrupted, you might need to get a new one, try on other phones but most likely it doesn't work.

Ignore any "maybe it's your sd" until you google this problem.
Many - MANY - people have had sd's killed by Xperia products. Or completely confused by errors and NO SONY SUPPORT.
My own story is below. I am trying to find out what the problem is.
BUT I GUARENTEE SONY WILL NOT REPLY ON THIS THREAD WITH A SOLUTION.


I used a 64gb exFAT sd Class 10 and they seem to corrupt. Can't play videos I got from the video unlimited free movies, or plays but then has trouble seeking from touching the timeline at the bottom of screen. displays "video cannot play" after 15 minutes OF PLAY, or also happen with movie clips and .mp4 and .avi.

It's really ruining the experience of a new Xperia.
Makes it seem cheap.

I think this is really a hardware problem and Xperia care cant solve it... So disappointment!

I am currently testing the **bleep** out of a 16GB Sony UHS1 40MB/s.

The results are very promising. Heavy file transfers, deleting and recopying. Switching between media (like playing music, then going to movie app and switching straight to movie from SD card while music is playing from SD card). And so far no corruption.

Unfortunately it doesnt rule out 64GB SD problems, but it might. 16GB could be more rugged - perhaps the internals are thicker?? They certainly come much cheaper.

Maybe top end cards only will work without fault.

Not really wanting to spend $100 on an SD card, but I think it could be a solution.

I have seen many stories of top end cards getting roasted, but if mine works, then it works with a high end Sony SD Card.

This forum and thread shows that there still could be a hardware problem.
