Sorry! I'm fairly new to these cards, so I don't know much about them and I don't know what bits of information are relevant. My initial post was not as obvious as I thought it was.
It can be difficult to know just how much information is enough. To little and things can be missed, to much and you run the risk of people zoning out when they read the post. As a general rule what caused the original problem or how it presented itself and what steps you have taken to try and fix it are usually good to include in a first post along with the hardware and software being used. If more information is needed it will be asked for. Being that we;re all volunteers and the time delay between responses you want to try and keep the one sentences questions and answers to a minimum.
You're more likely to get answers and resolutions that way.
still find it strange that a card this new is broken beyond repair. Better find out what my warranty options are. A friend also told me about some apps I could get that are better at fixing these cards than the standard Android system.
It is still possible that the card is ok. But given that it failed to format on two totally separate systems/OS's this seems unlikely. If it failed to format on two separate Macs or two separate Android devices you could say it was some interaction between the card and that particular system.
It is strange but not unheard of for a new device to go belly up. Thats why they invented warranties But seriously things like this seem to have one of two failure modes, They either die fairly soon or they last forever.
Please if you are able to get the card to work again post back, it will help a lot of other users.
Frank, thanks again for helping me. Sorry that I didn't communicate well.
Glad to help. We were all new here at some point I wouldn't worry about it.
