I think my SD card just died on me

[donlegacy]

Its not being detected on my card reader or my Pocket PC (tested other cards, they work fine).

I suppose the gold part of the SD card seems a bit dirty, maybe i could clean that and see if that would help. Has anybody ever tried cleaning their SD Card of dust? what did you use?

I should mention that the card is from Kingston and is about 1 years old. Think the warranty, if there is any, will cover it and they would send me a new one?

you should be able to clean the contacts with a soft cloth. Avoid leaving fluff/lint on it. If the dirt is stubborn, a little alcohol on a cotton bud (Q-tip) might work.

Also, there are diagnostic tools you can find for remocable devices. One or two were discussed here over the last month or two.
