SD cards are cheap. Time to give this one a decent burial.

Actually I suspect all the cards are made in China. That only leaves the other option in that you must be a clumsy lot and that might have to include Canadians. I say this because I find that photographers in general shouldn't be trusted with a screwdriver because they don't have the "feel" that you need to use a screwdriver properly. Without the "feel" you tend to break things. This is not ALL photographers just as I have observed around me but most photographers. And it would have to include those in NZ as well based on personal experience. If you give a photographer 6 things that have to be out of their camera bag at any one time you can bet that 1 of them will be left behind. It is all to do with focus and awareness of their surroundings. And this might be a little bit of a troll but that doesn't necessarily stop it from being true.

Some people here have had SD cards that split. Industrial strength SD cards won't do that.

The Delkin Black line has been redesigned to make it stronger than ever, in fact, it’s purported to be three times stronger than a conventional SD card, and capable of withstanding 45 pounds of impact. The injection-molded case is comprised of a special material that is said to be virtually unbreakable under normal and even extreme conditions. It’s also optimized for protection against dust, moisture, impact shock and temperatures down to -13 F° and up to 185 F°.

Well- I might be the exception to the "clumsy lot". My dexterity is excellent and I am very adept at using tools for any number of tasks, repairs and building things. I have long experience with electrical and electronic technology and I am not in the habit of taking a screwdriver to anythg that I am not thoroughly familiar with.My grandfather was a watch and clockmaker and repair expert- sadly, I missed that part of the gene pool.

I do, however, know my limitations as well as my talents. I am not a camera repair technician by any stretch of the imagination, and except for routine maintenance and cleaning, all repairs and overhauls are referred to experienced repair shops and factory-authorized repair stations.

I have seen folks pole around in electronic flash hear with a screwdriver and do serious damage to themselves and the equipment, besides vaporizing the tip of the screwdriver.

If you read my previous post, I advise the OP not to mess with a defective or broken card and simply replace it. Let's just sat the placing a damaged and glued-back together can in a camera is a bad idea.

I just take exception generalized derogatory statements- all America, Canadians (I am both) and Photographers are not clumsy clods that will try to pry open a camera with a screwdriver- I prefer a can opener!

Stay safe and healthy- I like your Prime Minister- she is doig a great job and she is cute!

Point taken. However you will note that I said "not ALL photographers".
I personally would have no issue with gluing up an SD card as I know what is a good joint and that which is not. I also know when something is not worth repairing. I also know how to clean a CCD and have taught my wife how to do it (she does not have the "feel") to a point where she will confidently clean a CCD even out in the field.
People who don't do "things" have got some sort of mental blockage that makes them think 'they' can't do it but usually they can if they make an effort. My mother-in-law won't oil her garden cutters but just buys a new one when the old ones seize up. You can't imagine how I feel when I see this. I wonder how the human race has even got this far.

I would just push it back together and add a small drop of super glue to the edge and hope that capillary attraction would suck up enough to hold it together without contaminating the functional part...what's to loose, its trash anyway.

Interesting situation. I don't think I've ever seen a card taken apart. I wonder how that would affect performance. It would have to make contact with the camera, but being in the slot would probably ensure that. I don't want to take one of my cards apart to look inside.

San disc has lifetime warranty call them for a new one. Why risk a card failure that you don't catch until you've lost photos. It's a $20.00 card, replacement free and your going to repair it. You have thousands if dollars in equiptment and thinking of a glue repair.
