    I wonder if I can get a copy of the original post email, or IP sent - interested to see who tried to be me. lol
    Sorry but no.

    They are so cheap these days --- throw it away before it breaks permanently.

    I have one the same with a easily knocked lock tab. It happens to be a Lexar Platinum 11 but having said that we have a mixture of Sandisk and Lexar cards ( both CF and SD ) ranging in age from 10 to 2 years old and have never had an issue with any of them until the lock tab one. *

    *That will almost certainly guarantee a total failure of all cards we possess within the next week.
