Hardware MicroSD Card corrupted?

[ItzMrCactus]

Hello. I was using atmosphere when I restarted my Switch to boot into hekate. When, I didnt boot into hekate, I booted back into atmosphere, except once it started up, an Atmosphere Fatal Messgae appeared. It told me to hit Power to restart, which I did. After hitting power it booted right back into atmosphere, and the same message popped up. And so, I decided that it was atmosphere that was corrupted. And so I decided to install ReiNX onto my Switch. When I inserted my MicroSD card into my card reader, Windows didnt detect it. Confused, I put the MicroSD card back into my switch, and I booted into hekate. Hekate booted just fine, but the only problem was that the touch screen wasnt responding. I decided to start memloader and see if Windows detects the SD Card. And it did! And so, I deleted the volume containing the SD card. And before moving my files back onto the SD card, I tried to see if the card reader would work with it (it didnt). I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like it would really suck to have to go out and blow money on a new SD card. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Try reformatting your SD Card. You can try with other SD Card first before buy a new one. Use the one on your cellphone for example

I have already tried that. I tried formatting it to exFAt as well. Still, nothing worked.

Then it's either your sd card or the reader that's dying.

My reader was working just fine minutes before I firstly restarted my switch. Maybe it could be maybe it isnt. Im just not sure.

Have you tried other sd cards? You might have killed this card unless it's not the card reader dying.

I don't have any other cards

Maybe buy or borrow like a 2gb card then try to run atmosphere, if it runs then your switch's sd card was the problem if not then it could be your card reader.
