    I am using an M3 miniSD, last time I tried, the miniSD broke and locked itself down. I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THAT!

    Anyone have tips/tricks to keep this from happening?

    1. I know there is a trick where you put black electrical tape on the adapter, but I forgot specifically where the tape goes on the adapter.

    2. I read something about someone saying to disable the lock/unlock tab.

    3. Do I need to format the card to FAT32 before I use it?

    I should have gone with microsd to avoid this damn problem.

    1. If the card reader says FAT, is that FAT32?

    My card reader keeps telling me it is write protected, even though the brand new miniSD was used for the first time in the unlock position, I even tried the tape trick.

    I'm probably going to be buy a new card reader from meritline, any suggestions on a good miniSD card reader?

    I don't why I did everything right and I can't enjoy games on my M3 miniSD, this is really making me upset.
