Can't format SD card>>>

[SabreKiller]

Anyone ever not been able to format a 16GB SD card? I've tried the quick method, the long method and nothing has worked. I've tried to format it on my laptop and it keeps saying "unable to format".

The card isn't locked. Any solutions besides buying another card?

New or old card? If its an older card than its probably been written to too many times.

May be try a different laptop or desktop pc.
If it lets you open the SD card delete all the files inside and then try formatting it.
If all else fails $6.99 or lower on amazon

Happened to me a few times. Put the card in a real camera, like a handheld. And that did the trick.

I tried to manually delete them, but there's 9999 photos on the card!

Ctrl a or select all wont work?

I've highlighted every photo and hit delete several times and it won't delete them.

I've hit select all and it says its going to take 16 hours until completion. LMAO!

Correction-17 hours!
