Memory Card I/O Device Error

If an I/O Device Error appears on your computer screen upon left-clicking your Memory Card and you have troubles opening your files, you may need to format your MMC or SD Card. If you cannot format it on your computer, try formatting it on your phone or camera. But of course, the data in your memory card will be lost, so, be quick and clever enough to perform backup tasks before doing so.

However, there is a Memory Card Data Recovery Software that you can find on the internet and download it into your computer. I have tried it when I had problems opening my MMC files and it worked. The lost data were all retrieved. That’s one good news!

Then, if the memory card works good on your phone or camera, try to connect it again to your computer. If it yields the same result, an I/O Device Error still appears on the screen and you cannot left-click the memory card, then, there may be some problems with your Card Reader. The card reader may have corrupted the files in your SD or memory card.

Even if you buy a new SD or MMC and try it on with your card reader, you may just be risking the new SD or Memory Card and waste your money. The card reader may already be damaged, and if it already is, it will damage every card you put in it. Instead, buying a new Card Reader gets the problem solved. Period.
