Did my switch fry my microSD? (hekate fails to init or mount sd card)

[Quincy]

When I came home earlier and picked up my switch for some more metroid I noticed it wouldn't wake and somehow ended up in RCM. No problem, we just send the payload and ...failed to init or read sd card?? Other cards get detected fine in the tools menu (but are not big enough to hold an emummc), and the fried card doesn't even seem to get aknowledged in any system I've tried it in except the switch (booting without an card results in the switch telling me to insert a card instead of failing init/read, so it knows theres something in there..))


What do I do? is this card 100% fried? That would suck, because of the emummc with my savegames and such and also because this card is my only 32+GB one :x

If you got other micro SD and they work with this switch then your sd card is dead.

Goddamn my only 32+GB card ;-; , and theres nothing we can do to potentially get the emummc off of it? I'm asking, but I already know the answer

The card is dead, so there isn't anything you can do with that card.

data recovery is expensive but there is always a way

Sucks that it died in the switch though, while hours before the card was not showing any signs of breaking ;-;

Sorry, think we all been there, n know it sucks. Feel for you!

Maybe the only good from this is - SD cards are alot cheaper now, and bigger also.(I suggest SanDisk or Samsung) 32gb is ok but not much. Some games with updates push over 45gb. Here in USA, you can get 256gb cards for less than $35. Good time to update FW and jump to bigger card, and make a new emunand. Good luck!

Well don't feel so bad, I killed one also, it was a 512GB.

both sys and emummc were up to date, the card was a samsung 128gb evo (a pretty new one even) and the biggest switch game to date still is BotW

Huh? Isn't Mortal Kombat like 60 gigs?

I think Skyrim was bigger, too

MK1 is 32GB and 11 25.something, so BotW isn;t the biggest anymore xD Sorry, guess my info is a little outdated.
