it's 2021 and you still saving people.. bro.. thank you! I was in a middle of a shoot when my SD card broken. And this tips just fix it like a miracle!
It's 2024 and they are STILL helping ppl 😂😂 I LOVE IT 😊😊
Never thought it would be so easy and would actually work. Many thanks bro.
I thought I might have to discard a brand new SD card! Thanks! The switch seemed to be working mechanically, but somehow remained locked regardless of the switch position.
Dude you are Awesome! This is why you gotta love RUclips! I’ve called the Geek squad, Apple etc. I have tons of 3D printed items on my SD card and apparently I must of accidentally broke the lock tab on the card and didn’t even know it. Tried your little tape trick and the problem was solved of course after I ordered two new cards! Oh well I still need them! Thanks for this very helpful tip!
I did a photoshoot earlier Today... Noticed when I want to store images the SD lock is complete off. I contemplated how will I explain client what happened to their pictures. Lucky for me I've got to your video on RUclips.... That's my lifeline. Thank you so much. I managed to get all my pictures.
THANK YOU 🙌 Quick and easy, right to the point.
Just keep in mind it's not always a faulty lock switch. The switch on my Sandisk is fine and unlocked, yet the card gives that 'write protected' message when trying to copy to it or to format it.
It's been happening to me, too. Were u able to fix it?
@@johnnyd5186 Any fixes yet?
@@johnnyd5186where u able to fix it?
You’re a lifesaver!!! This happened to me twice and I went out and bought a new memory card in which I still had memory on the other, this hack definitely worked. Thank you so much.
Man, you are the hero we don’t deserve! Thank you my guy
After watching people fussing with pieces of plastic and scissors or matchsticks and dangerous blade cutters this is so refreshingly simple. Thanks, we need you.
omg thanks man i was so sad because i didn't want to get rid of this sd card because it has all of my nintendo 3ds stuff, you literally saved so much nostalgia for me, thanks.
that’s a like and follow for being so quick and straight to the point keep it ip
Wow, I just fixed a 7 years old Sd card that also missed that small switch. Although, as I always tried to take care of it very much, it should not have become corrupted. I never pushed it or anything. It even had its own case when it was not in my camera. Thanks a lot!!!
Wow, this is brilliant. Thank you so much. So simple and effective. Worked instantly.
I truly appreciate this upload!! Your vid saved me $700 on a new cam not even thinking it was the SD card 😩💗
Thank you so much for the info... I was mortified when we tried to use my camera (sd card) for my bday and didn't work. I thought I lost all of my old pictures. You are a life saver.. yay it worked. Thank you again
This video is a life saver. Needed to record my RUclips video and suddenly I see that my card is locked. Still gonna purchase some back up thou just because.
Thanks,my camera has been down for a week because of a locked card and now its working like new,thanks again!!
You earned yourself a sub my guy. I did the tape trick and it totally fixed the issue!!!! THANKYOU!
Thanks man, the switch in my sd card got stuck IN my camera and this really helped me out. You earned a sub!!! :)
I am glad to help!
Oh my GOd, so simple! thanks! thanks for posting and make it the video to the point and short with the RIGHT solution.
bro ur a legend
Didn't work for me
Bruh Jesse
Yo wtf jesse hier
MAG IK AAN JE NAVEL LIKKEN
This ended up sort of doing the trick.
IMPORTANT tip for those of you out there, there's probably a notch on the other side, tape that too if you can't get it working. If it's still not working...more tape. Otherwise do the Diskpart CMD or Regedit methods you already found on Google. If none of those work then you're SOL. SD cards aren't too expensive anyways, and its not like you lost data because you can still copy of it even if its read-only.
PERFECT video. so easy, so simple, so short. Thank you for this! Helped me a ton
Bruh in 2023 this hack still works. Totally amazing,. This is the easiest quickiest best solution when locked error comes up. thanks but as you mention, definitely have a back up sd card.
Wow! Your're the tops fella! - although I had to paste two layers of tape before my camera operated again. Anyways, 5 years after you first supplied this camera rescuing advise a big, big "Ta-ever-so-Ta" meaning a whole lotta thanx from the UK 💋
holy crap you actually saved me i had photos and videos from childhood years I kept on a single SD card I kept in a ziplock bag in a safe for years thinking at some point I could access it against cause the lock was broken to realise I just needed tape?? i actually feel stupid now thank you so much :o
Bro. You are the GOAT. I’m on my way to film at the Texans stadium and my memory card completely locked up on me
*makes goat sounds
THANK YOU! I was literally freaking out like I have to buy a new one now 😫
Thank you so much.. I thought i was going to have to buy a new one‼
Great Video, straight to the point. Thank YOU
Wow, so simple, first time I ever encountered that, thank you!
THANK YOU! I just spent an hour following various tutorials and nothing worked... I put a piece of tape over the missing lock button and BOOM my SD card formatted. YAY!!!!
This worked like a charm!! Just tape is over the lock switch on the card
You just saved my fiancé so much heartache after I found this video. Absolute legend
Very helpful. Thank you so much!!
Thank you! How did I not remember we used to do this with old cassette tapes (and VHS)?
YESSS WE DID LOL ITS THE SAME !!
I said the same thing! I feel like an idiot!! I was looking through the property/permissions.
and floppy disks xd
It worked! Thanks a million. Before this I had literally tried to pry open the card to find a switch on the inside - to my chagrin, there was no such switch... Tape solves a lot of things.
Wow! Thank you, this has fixed my zoom h6 sd card from locking itself! thank you!
Great tip! This came in CLUTCH! Thanks 1,000,000!!!!
Sorry I know this video is old but thank you so much, everywhere online was telling me to flip the switch but it wasn’t working lol, saved my day, tysm x
Thank you so much!! You taught me something new today!! 😀😃
Another question though if it does work would I be able to use it to record videos because I need the card that a big size SD card to be able to record videos and it won't let me record videos and keeps saying it's locked but I keep unlocking and locking it again and it's not working maybe it will help
Thank you so much bro, such a simple fix but it helped alot.
Thanks a lot man! Saved our 128gb card when the switch broke off!
Great advice, thank you!!
Like the old vhs cassette trick tape over where the tab was 👌 brilliant
It works! i was struggling with my SD card since it used to automatically get locked when i insert into my HP Laptop. putting a small piece of tape worked for me! Thanks a lot! :)
bro thanks so much
almost no one knows that I'm into photography and one day i was using a card reader to get stuff off onto my computer and tried to delete stuff. It said its locked and i am so thankful i found this because my card costa lot of money
Man, I can't believe it worked. Thank you so so so much, my champion! Thank god I was almost giving up.
This worked like a charm
Thanks for posting this .
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, helped a lot!👌🏼
Thank you for getting straight to the point
No words bro... From India Namaste 🙏
well, i needed help on how to get the card out of the packaging it is in after the end of your vid.
Thank you very much. One of my cameras reads all SD cards as locked when they are not. The tape works.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! May God bless you for sharing this information. :)
Thank you! So simple and so effective. $.01 worth of tape just saved about 1,000 pictures from my "broken" memory card
Great advice. Make another video now on how to get a stuck and scotch tight card out of your camcoder. Thanks
THIS IS AMAZING ty so much. I tried formatting it, tried erasing with the command prompt, and nothing would work. The lock is there and is on the right side, it just wouldn't unlock, but this worked easily, thank you!!!
Much thanks,,, my slide protection was always sliding down, a simple piece of tape go figure. I even tried a hot glue gun,,, to keep the tab in place,, that only caused tiny bits of glue to end up in the device,,and slightly muddied the receiver. I am glad I didn't F up the receiver to much. So that didn't work,, but your tape method saved the day. thanks
So helpful! Worked instantly
you made my day so much easier ,thaaaaaank youuuuuuu
The best solution to this problem ! It works perfectly !!! Thank you !
I think I have a bigger problem. I have done what you recommend and charged three cards but still shows that the cards are locked. Any Ideas what it could be?
Hi, I have a similar issue with my memory card but it has a little switch on it. At first, it said memory card locked so I unlocked it, I still couldn't film anything because it did nothing, I switched it back on the locked position and the same thing happened. I thought something was wrong with the camera (Canon digital Ixus 65) but when I inserted it in my main camera (Canon Powershot A620) I did the same stuff and it still doesn't work. It's in my laptop now and doesn't even show up when I put it in. I've bought this memory card today (Kioxia 16GB) for 10$. I've tried putting 1 layer of tape it didn't work so I tried 1 more still nothing and with the 3rd layer it can't fit into the memory card slot.
yoo thanks bro that was a really clever solution!
Thank you for this helpful video. My sd card lock switch was loose and slips to lock position when inserted to its camera slot. This solution solved it.
Thank you! Recovered my 32GB SD.
Ahh shit! Thank you!! I was hoping there was a video on this! I didn't realize it was external!! I had a pet squirrel that chewed the whole edge off mine that I use in my trail camera for hunting. It was almost full so the only option was that the camera has a "delete all" option and thats it! Man thanks!
Really good video Ty, I'm late to sd world, what is the locking switch besides what you mentioned? because I was able to access, write, delete files on it, but when I flipped the switch it gave me no other option but format/deleted everything, but also in the middle of viewing mp4 files on another sdcard it just all sudden couldn't read the files while locked, almost like a signal got sent to it, or maybe it was slow to react to the lock setting.
Great and Easy Fix. Thanks mate.
Thanks dude! This helped a lot.
Nagyon köszönöm, hasznos volt, ujra tudok fényképezni.
WOW! That simple! You are Great!!!
omg thanks u just saved my life 😨❤❤❤
I have a problem..I have a 64gb onn. sd memory card that shows on my camera the memory card is locked. But sadly the switch is not locked, the switch is unlocked. The switch is not broken. I tried the 30 sec rule. The card still does not show data. What do I need to do?
I still have the grey lock part but its saying this same thing and the tape thing is not working for me. Any other suggestions?
Saved my LIFE! Thank you!!!
Omg you are a genius!! It worked!! Thank you so much ☺️ made my day !
Wow this amazing! It worked for me!! Thank you so much!!!
Man, you're a wizard! Thank you!
Yess, you brilliant man. Thank you!!

Just fixed mine, a great tip 👍🏾
Thank you! I was sweating it out until I found this video. 👌🏿🙌🏾
Thank you very much. I was annoyed that I have to experience this for the first time. This is just the first I notice that card readers has this lock and unlock thing. Thank you again!
