SD / microSD Card diagnostics

Test what the browser can see. Know when it cannot.

Use OS/card-reader recognition first; DeviceOK focuses on safe troubleshooting boundaries because browsers cannot generically inspect card health.

Run these first

Relevant live checks

First diagnostic sequence

Do the high-signal checks before risky changes

  1. 1

    Test the card in another known-good reader

  2. 2

    Check write-lock adapter position

  3. 3

    Do not format if important files have not been recovered

What DeviceOK/browser can help check
  • Help distinguish browser file picker issues after the card mounts
What this browser page cannot prove
  • Read flash wear/health universally
  • Repair filesystem corruption
  • Test the card-reader electrical interface directly
