This dude completely forgot that his title said that the sd card isn't detected. Complete waste of time

Thanks! A little alcohol and a micro fiber cloth is what I used to clean the leads on the SD cards. Didn't look to bad. But after I cleaned it they were much more shiney. And it recognized the card immediately.
