An SD card is a memory stick created by SanDisk and used for portable devices such as digital still and video cameras. They are extremely small and can hold any where from a few megabytes (MB) of space to several gigabytes (GB). However, just as with other hard drives and memory devices, files can become corrupt, which will not allow the content to be displayed or opened. There are a few ways to fix this issue.
