<p><strong>Method &nbsp;1</strong> :-There is a write-protection tab on&nbsp;the Mini SD&nbsp;card HOLDER.

<p>If the above fails, it is likely your SD card reader/writer's fault. This can also be solved.Just see the explained mechanical design of the SD card lock mechanism. So that you may choose to repair it if you want to.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Method 4 :</strong> You will need a small paper clip&nbsp;and screw-driver to open your&nbsp;card reader. There is a&nbsp;mechanical switch very much like a micro push button.&nbsp;You either push or release this&nbsp;micro push button inside the SD card reader.&nbsp;Due to mechanical wear and tear, or some forceful insertion of the&nbsp;SD card, the micro push button is in its "open" circuit position, i.e. write-protected. In order to make the SD card reader writable, we will need to "close" the circuit.<br />
(Note: this is an irreversible&nbsp;process as I will be telling you&nbsp;how to remove the write-protection feature of your SD card reader. Once you do this, you would be unable to use the SD card lock switch to lock your data).<br />
To proceed, you need to remove the main circuit board from the SD card reader/writer enclosure. The location of the micro push button switch is the same location as the unlock position of the SD card when inserted in the SD card reader/writer. From the BACK of the exposed SD card reader, insert the unfolded paper clip (same way when you try to poke something like a device reset button) except, that it has to be long enough to allow the micro switch to touch together for contact. Then insert the SD card.Once the contact is "closed", your SD card reader/writer can write again.</p>
