My Samsung Galaxy S4’s SD card reader no longer works. It started by randomly ejecting, so I would just take it out and put it back in. One day it stopped reading altogether. I tried cleaning the SD card, I tried putting in a different SD card, but it still doesn’t read. Does anybody have an idea as to why it doesn’t read? Could it be a hardware issue? It is rooted, so could that be an issue too?
See this quite a bit. Open up the back cover. Remove the screws. Then replace the SD/sim reader. Plenty of tutorials. And the part is pretty cheap too. Obviously male sure everything is clean before buying a new part, although this would be a slim chance of debris build up, as this is behind a sealed cover to begin with.
