Many LG phones use MicroSD cards. MicroSD cards are portable memory devices that allow you to store additional information such as music, videos and images. This allows you to add additional content to your phone, while saving your device's built-in memory. In some cases, your LG phone may fail to read your MicroSD card. With a few troubleshooting steps and guidelines, you can resolve these issues quickly and safely.
Instructions
1. Turn off your phone for a few seconds and then turn it back on. If your phone is still not reading or detecting your MicroSD card, remove the card from the card slot, which is generally located on the side of your phone depending on the phone model. If needed, check your instruction manual for location details.
2. Reinsert the MicroSD card into the card slot. Try resetting your phone if still fails to read the card. Resetting your phone varies with differ LG phones, so refer to your phone's documentation or user guide.
