Probable memory corruption on SD card

Hi, my SD card is not detected in Windows or Linux.

I changed the adapter, that's not the problem, I tried the same adapter with another SD card, that's not the problem either.

The SD card was detected under Windows and a pop-up window to ask me for the formatter, I did not do it then suddenly by reconnecting it, nothing more happens.
It's a 64 gigabit SD card, I don't remember formatting it myself.
I tried with the Windows tools to detect it but nothing worked, I suspect a memory corruption. I Also tried with Gparted.
So the question is : What are the command line I have to write on a shell to help you helping me ? ^^

Re: Probable memory corruption on SD card

I don't know if I'll be able to help very much - the card might just be broken - but you could try these to see if the system is detecting the card at all:

Open a terminal and run:

sudo dmesg -wx

Now plug the card in and see what appears.

With the card plugged in, open a new terminal and run these two commands:

lsblk
sudo fdisk -l

If you post the results here someone might be able to advise you.

Re: Probable memory corruption on SD card

Thanks a lot, I ran dmesg and here it is :

kern  :err   : [ 1081.395861] mmc0: card never left busy state
kern  :err   : [ 1081.395874] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card

I Googled it and long story short : My SD is dead, six feet under the sea level, broke its pipe etc. In more than ten years, no one found a way to fix this issue.

And here it is for the second command line :

But if someone can prove me that I'm wrong, I will be very happy to be wrong

PS : I'm searching for the sr0 stuff, I'll tell you if something happen
