I hope this helps - I had the same problem with several cards but eventually found a way around it. DON'T buy a new one!!!!!!!!
Make sure the SD card lock is 'off' and then use thin, opaque sticky
tape (ie non see-through; eg insulation tape) to cover the whole gap
but keep clear of the metal contacts at the back.
Your card should work fine now.....don't know why this has to be done, but it works!!!!!!!!!
There is a mini switch that goes up in down on the left or right side. Slide it on the opposite direction to remove write protection. ü
Dear Guests,
the mini switch provided on Adapter do not remain in its position while inserting the card in card reader due to its poor workmanship. hence you can try by using a n opaque material such as insulation tape to cover the mini switch on adapter so that it remains in the "Open" position while inserting it in card reader.Do take care that it will not cover the metalic contacts. The "Open" position is towards the contacts, so keep the switch accordingly. This may help, It has solved my problem.
1: Make sure the switch on the side is in the "off" position.
2: Use one wrap of black electrical tape, or (preferably) two wraps of cellophane tape around the entire card (both sides). This will cover the notches, which are a kind of code that the card slot will recognize. Make sure you do not cover the gold contacts, or use so much tape that the card will no longer fit into the slot.
IMO the problem is not the card, but cheap card readers. This is just a workaround.
Yup worked great. Just like hudsenplutzsaid. I did use clear (see through) tape and it still worked fine. Thanks for the help.

On the Mini SD adapter, there is a lock tap you push down usually when you put your mini SD card in to it, then into the USB adapter. To turn off the write protection on your mini SD, simply do not lock your mini SD in its adapter.
If that doesn't work, the write protection sensor in the device reader is not reading the card's lock switch properly. First, try moving the lock switch on the card slightly towards the lock position - this worked for me. Another trick is to put a piece of tape over the lock switch area on the card. It seems the fail-safe position is write protected, unless the switch is closed by the tab on the card in the 'unlocked' position, signaling a writable card.
If these simple tricks don't work, the 'unlocked' sensor in the device reader may not be working; it's likely to be a mechanical switch that my have failed. Some have claimed success performing micro surgery to permanently short the switch in the closed position, essentially removing the write protection. This would require more skills that the average person has. Proceed at your own risk of damaging the device.
