I have a 16‐gigabyte‐(GB) SanDisk Ultra water‐, temperature‐, shock‐ / vibration‐, X‐ray‐, magnet‐, and impact‐proof Micro Secure Digital Extended Capacity (MicroSDXC) Ultra High Speed I (UHS‐I) card which used to work both using a SanDisk Universal Serial Bus (USB) adapter and the built‐in card reader.

How to make it work again?

I have had some luck (and some failures) bringing USB sticks back to life, but unfortunately no experience with SD Cards. I read one suggestion that you put the card into a camera and let it format it, if it will... and that seems like a reasonable idea. It may be that fdisk or gdisk could help you to restore the drive with Linux, but I might also attempt to follow SanDisk's advice to use this tool to format the card and restore lost capacity (Window/Mac only).

But sometimes these things fail, like anything electronic. I hope that you can make it usable again, but you have probably lost whatever data it was storing. Let us know what you attempt, and if you have any success!
