[stephandelange]

I have tried all your methods, plus several others from other users and none of them work. It was fine 2 days ago and then yesterday this Write Protection appears? What the hell could've happened? I can't even format it, I can't do anything. Do you have any other ideas I can try? Please let me know! Thanks for your video.

If it is a sd card, use your smartphone to format it as external storage. It worked for me.
