MicroSD card quit working??? Said removed on screen...

[jack58]

Today when I turned on the phone, I got the message that the microSD card was removed?
Shut the phone off and on a couple times, then rebooted twice, same message. Checked on my computer, sure no microSD card listed. So shut down the phone, removed the sim/microSD tray... it looked fine, seated fine, so I put tray back in and turned on the phone... works fine! What's up with that? is that a phone or microSD problem surfacing?

Seems to be a recurring issue on the S7.

I don't even own an S7 and I see the issue on this forum and other forums every day.

Nope. In electronics we just call it "dirty contacts". It's normal, actually. Just use a clean pencil eraser and "erase" the dirt/grime you may or may not see, then blow off the eraser particles and put back together. Ur good.
