sd card write protected broken lock button

Question

Hello,
I have a virus on my SD card, I tried to get rid of it but it's impossible, so I wanted to format it, which is also impossible as I am told the card is write-protected. I then tried to move the little and fragile "lock" button which, oh surprise, stays in my fingers...
In short, I have an SD card that is permanently protected, or is there a way to unlock it with a piece of tape like with the old cassettes?
Thank you for your help and all the best wishes that come with it!

Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

Hello  it works very well the old way, I have the same issue and I came across your post while looking for a solution. Just fill in the "drop" by sticking some tape. Thanks for the idea!

Hmm, I've lost the little "lock" button; it came off, and my card is blocked. I would like more information about the "piece of tape" to see if I can unlock it. Thank you very much!

Hello everyone,

I am facing the same problem: I have a camera whose memory card is locked.

Initially, I wanted to delete all the photos from my camera to free up the memory card. I noticed that the photo folders were all locked, and when checking the properties, I couldn't uncheck the "read-only" box. After that, I read that I needed to "unlock" the switch on the card. But being clumsy, I dropped the switch: s. I’m trying in vain to use tape to fill the gap on the card, but nothing works, my card remains locked :(

Can someone help me solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
My Sandisk card is locked and the lock is broken, and I haven’t lost the end piece either.
What should I do?
Where should I put the tape?
In the hole? Impossible
On one side (top or bottom) of the card? How?
On the sides of the card? How?

I had the same problem, a locked SD card and a lost button thinking it would be useless to me. After reading the posts above and in a moment of desperation, I cut a piece of paperclip the size of the slot, gently (very, very gently) pushed it in that spot, put a piece of tape over it and my SD card is working again! Not saying it's a miracle solution but it's worth a try...
