Be very careful with your XQD cards

My Sony card died. Sony replaced it free of charge. There is a one year warranty. Best check.

Communicate with the manufacturer. After reviewing your pictures, they might send you a new one.

Thanks for that. There's another reason for me to keep the cameras I have.

Just curious what "brand" of card this happened to?
Lexar 64gig is the one with the problem. fortunately I also have a Sony 64gig that is ok.

Try breaking the corner fully off, it should still work in a reader. I had a customer come in with one he dropped and stepped on and it was broken in a similar manner, I broke off the rest of the damage and got the card to read so I could transfer his files. I personally have dropped a few of mine over the years and never had one damaged, but I never stepped on one either. I never "baby" any of my cards, but I don't TRY to damage any of them either. Hope you get your files saved.
Good advice

Thanks for this valuable heads up. As a new XQD card user with my Z7 it could be a costly mishap. I just ordered a second XQD card as “insurance” while traveling overseas.

I'm guessing they are all constructed in a similar way.

Robert, you obviously have the card out of the camera, perhaps to use a card reader. I would never put any kind of glue on the card and reinsert it into the camera. If you don't have a reader, let me know and I will let you borrow mine. Good Luck.

From the way it looks I thought you were going to say you were sliding it with your foot, while wearing your best combat boots. That thing looks like it's been through a war. I thought they were supposed to be tough.

Thats what I thought to Bill. Thats one of the things some of the reviews have said about the Nikon Z models only having one card slot... that XQD cards were very durable, tough and well made.
If sliding the card along the floor and rubbing up against a rug did that, it doesn't look to tough or durable to me.
