Help Dead Micro SD Card

[devswap]

I had an integral 32GB SD card which has been working well for approx 3 months but has now completely died - not just a corrupt filesystem that i can format, its completely dead. I had a search on the web and many people seem to be having the same issue with cards and their S3 devices and lots having 3 dead cards over 3 months. Has anyone else experienced this as I cant afford to keep buying cards that die after 3 months

Thanks

You're not buying cards on eBay are you?

I've been using various sizes of cards since 8mb was popular and have never had one die because I don't buy cheap cards.

Also always turn your phone off properly (long press power and select shutdown) before removing battery.
