Memory Card Lock Download ((INSTALL))

A physical switch called a memory card lock prevents the card from performing write operations. When you lock the SD card, it transforms into a read-only state, meaning you cannot delete, change existing files, or add new files.

This is a slightly more advanced method to unlock the SD card, but it might be your only option if you still need to be ready to format the card. Unfortunately, this option is only available on Windows, and a word of caution: be very careful when making any changes to your Registry Editor, or it can cause significant issues.

For those wondering if backing up the files from a locked SD card is possible, yes, it is. First, connect your card to your computer using the SD card slot or a card reader. Then open the card and select all of the files that you want to back up. Press Ctrl + C or right-click and select Copy. Next, navigate to the destination folder where you want to store the backups. This could be on an external storage device or your computer. Press Ctrl + V or right-click and select Paste.

I am having a similar issue as well with my Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS. Like the previous comment, I have tried clicking the tap on the memory card to locked, unlocked, etc. Nothing happened. I tried multiple memory cards as well, and the message still said "memory card error" and under that: "memory card locked"

SD cards have a tiny little tab on the left side edge (as seen from the front of the card). When this tab is in the LOCK position, a sensor switch in the camera tells the camera that the card should not be written to, i.e. the card is locked.

My experience with the same problem: Card A for Camera A was unlocked (tab in the upper position) and it would still not work after my blowing some dry air into the slot. Tried Card B in Camera A and it worked, so I thought Card A was the problem. Tried Card A in Camera B and it worked. Weird.

I have a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS that is having issues reading any SD/SDHC memory card. When I first turn on the camera, it tells me there is a memory card error, and when I go to format it, the option is grayed out. Even when I actually format it on Windows and insert the cards back in nothing happens. I did discover that when I hit the photo view button under the on/off button that it's thinking the cards are locked, when in fact they're not. I did also get a flash light and look down the SD card slot to make sure there was no debris or tiny objects sitting down at the bottom.

Does anyone have a recommendation on what I should try to do to solve this? I am thinking the best option now is just to replace the board assembly that the SD card slot is attached to, assuming something mechanical may be broke.

A question... obviously it was working at one time, so what happened when you last used it successfully. Did you by any chance take the card out of the slot while the camera was turned on? I have heard of a case where the card was removed during a read/write cycle and the camera was convinced the card was locked (for writing) and refused to have anything to do with it or another card.

In general, we recommend against the practice of formatting your memory card anywhere, except the camera. Having said that, since the card wasn't being recognized by the camera, I do understand choosing that option.

When your camera produces the "Card Locked" error message, even if the card's lock is in the correct position (closest to the metal contacts on the card), you may want to cycle the lock back and forth a couple of times.

While we don't recommend specific brands or models of cards, we do recommend that you use a memory card produced by a major manufacturer that closely adhere to the current industry standards. You may see the standards at sdcard.org.

We recommend against the use of cards that require an adapter to fit in the camera (i.e. micro-SD or Mini-SD). The increase in the number of connections between the camera and memory card (from the memory card to the adapter, then from the adapter to the camera) makes a malfunction more likely.

Yes - a silly "feature" (at least for me) on SD cards. I've never once wanted to "lock" a memory card - yet there have been many times when the locking mechanism on an SD card - unbeknownst to me - slide into lock mode. Kinda PITA in my opinion.

1) The first problem arose around a month ago, when I noticed that the memory cards stopped "popping out" of the camera. Sometimes they do, but most of the time they do not. I often have to manually pull them out with a pair of tweezers.

The memory card is a top-of-the-line 32GB ScanDisk, and the lock switch is definitely NOT set on lock. I have also tried two other memory cards, and always receive the same message, even when I have "double-checked" that the lock switch is not set on locked.

This camera has been gently handled and used since first purchases. Nothing other than a memory card has been inserted into the memory card opening. And, as mentioned, until about a month ago the memory cards I have used "popped out" instantly. Now they tend to become stuck inside, as often they do not pop right out when depressed.

Took me hours to figure it out but there is a tiny little switch on the side of SD card... nothing at all to do with the camera itself!... but just click it the other way, put it back into the camera and it will work again.

This also happened to my T5i and you are correct in that something quite small most likely was obstructing it. Even though my card slid in and out without any jamming I attempted to look inside with a flashlight, but could see nothing. I attempted to blow it out or tap it out, but that did not work either. I then took a 3x5 inch index card (or card stock paper) and cut a strip about the size of the SD card and stuffed it into and out of the hole several times hoping to dislodge any debris. This seemed to do the trick and I no longer have any problem. My guess is accumulation of dust or lint on the SD card that I used once. I'm happy to taking photos again and it cost me nothing but the time to read this suggestion. Happy me!

Your little (3X5) card stock trick worked for me almost instantly! My brand new SD card was already in the unlocked position and after attempting to turn it to locked, then back to unlocked, re-insert, inspect the camera SD slot, blow it out with my camera bellow etc., it was your card trick that fixed my problem, God bless you sir!

I have an SD card, that is broken, the slider for the "Lock" is gone. When I put it into my computer it turned out to be in read-only, How can I override this with software? I need to format the SD card. I am using Ubuntu and Windows 7

I'm fairly certain that the lock is a physical mechanism, and therefore all you need to do is put a piece of scotch tape over the SD card. Be very precise in placing the tape over the notch, but not over the brass connector on the opposite side.

The notch forces the read-only to work with camera's, PDA's, MP3 players, etc, however they are not guaranteed to work on all SD readers (apparently it works on your reader). It's simply a physical thing, therefore the tape will trick the SD card reader into thinking the SD card is unlocked.

The write protection tells the computer to reject all write requests, which normally prevents writing to the SD card. Unlike the floppy disk, this is done at the software level. Although the card reader can detect the position of the read-only switch, the switch itself doesn't physically hinder writing. This means that although it's theoretically possible to write onto a read-only card, it would have to be at a low level. Barring direct manipulation of the output bits, the only permanent solution would be to format your card at a low level, thus removing the card-side write protection.

This is not the same as a normal formatting. It wipes the card completely, including the protected areas, where the write-protection securities would be held. Theoretically, this would erase the card's write protection, but it may also come with unforeseen complications if done incorrectly. I would suggest that you only use a low-level format if you know exactly what you're doing. There is a free low-level format tool compatible with SD cards available at this link: -LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/

It should be noted that this needs to be done in conjunction with one of the hardware solutions posted here. Again, SD card readers are designed so that they can detect the position of the switch. If the hardware solution doesn't work (as is the case here), then the card must also have a built-in write protection.

If I'm not mistaken - its the same kind of thing as the old floppy disk. The lock blocks a lightbeam if it is in the correct position. There's no electrical component to it - just that if the switch is in a certain spot, the lightbeam gets broken and you can read and write. Otherwise it is write only. I'd try and tape over the switch area with something like scotch tape and darkening it with a sharpie. Really, though, they're so cheap it would be better to just replace the card. I'd worry about the tape pealing off inside the SD card slot and then you might end up really screwed.

i allowed the gorilla glue to become opaque and thick before trying to apply it to the card, that way it becomes thick enough to stay put and not run out of the groove. in 18C temperature that took about 10 minutes to go opaque and get thick enough to paste it into the groove.

note: test the glue is stuck firmly to the card when its cured. if the glue drops off into your electronic equipment, it may cause havoc !!! if you are unsure of this method or unsure of the bond between the glue and the card, DON'T DO IT this way as i won't be responsible for the loss of your equipment - do it at your own risk. (but gorilla glue is good stuff. if the card is not greasy it should stick well). e24fc04721
