How Do I Fix the Write Protection on My SD Card, Help

I have a problem with my SD card: the SD card is write protected for some reason since Tuesday last week while I download some ps1 games. It suddenly stopped showing the write protection problems and allowed me to add my game onto the thing once again. Is there any way to fix this write protection problem? please let me know. Thank you.

If your SD card is on write protection, you cannot add anything to it or download games. This page will give you some worked and tested solutions to help you fix the write protection problems on your SD card. The SD card has a toggle switch, which can control the write protection of your device. If the switch is locked, your SD card will become write-protected when you connect it to all computers. Therefore, check the physical switch of your SD card first. If it is locked, follow the steps to unlock your SD card:

Step 1. Find the physical switch on the side, and turn it from "ON" to "OFF."

Step 2. Plug the unlocked SD card into your computer. Check if the write-protected problem is fixed.

The second method is to use EaseUS Partition Master Free, which has a Write Protection Removal tool that lets you remove the write protection quickly and safely.
