The microSD card has no visible write protect tab that you can access: you need to use a Micro-SD to SD/mini-SD adapter that usually comes with your Micro-SD card and use the ON/OFF sliding tab on the adapter to disable or enable the wiite protection on your Micro-SD card: test the access via the adapter card before removing it.
Hope it helps: let me know how you go!

Not charging not turning on/off lens window open. Where can I take this to get it repaired? Old model but camera barely used for 1 year.

Olympus cameras have to be sent back to Olympus themselves which unfortunately they charge for, you can get the address from their website

Olympus Tough-8000 Flash Charging Warning

It could be the capacitor in the flash is defect, but it also could be your battery (batteries) are to low on voltage. ALthough when that happens the camera should switch of.
There could be all other kinds of defects, like oxidation of some contacts or a broken flat cable in the camera, But my guess is the capacitor does not charge to the correct voltage.
