daniel rodriguez asks:
I have a 1 GB microSD card that stopped working on my phone and it will not show up on any computer adapter I use. What can I do because I don’t want to lose the files I have in there.

Hello, chances are your memory card got corrupted. There have been question similar to that before. I would say you will probably need to see if you can recover the files. You could start by using Recuva:

I have had good luck with gparted or disk utility in Mint, they have seen SD cards & usb drives that other programs could not recognize.I have recovered data, then reformat so that the drives were usable again. You can use a live Mint or Ubuntu CD or DVD.
I have reviewed a bunch freeware for recovering data (in the test images actually) off memory cards here: http://www.s2services.com/cameraundeletefreeware.htm

My card is not just corrupted, its somehow physically damaged. It doesn’t show up in GParted and it won’t mount at all. In dmesg, i get:
mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
I’ve read that I can crack open the case and resolder the contacts but then I wouldn’t be able to use the card after that because the case would be broken…
Am I completely screwed here?
Bericp,
it sounds pretty hopeless.
If you urgently need the data on your SD card, you can maybe have it recovered by a professional service. Which one you should turn to depends on the country you live in.
