How do I get my files off of an sd card(for a phone) that neither a phone or computer can detect?

One day my phone said that my sd card was unexpectedly removed, I turned off my phone and the sd card wasn't removed but I took it out and put it back in anyway. My Sd card did into even show up. I went to settings and what usually says format sd card, was grey and I was unable to select it. The phone could not detect the sd card at all. So I tried at least 4 different phones, all of them couldn't detect the card. I had put the sd card back into my phone and plugged my phone into a computer but the computer was unable to detect the sd card either. I kept trying with the computer and eventually the computer recognized it as a removable disk but when i try to do something with it all it says is please insert a disk into the removable disk. I tried to use disk part but they keep saying no media and I'm unable to do anything with it. i just want to get all of my music and pictures and videos off of that sd card. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

Touchscreen wont work, and it wont mount my SD card anymore. One day they both just stopped working no water damage or anything.

The SD card is probably bad, had the same thing happen to a card on my phone, the phone we just rpeatly try and mount it. You can try connecting it to a computer. Right click on computer > manage > Disk Management if the card is detected here right click on it and format it, you have a corrupted file system. If it isn't detected at all the the card is trash. As for the digitizer(touch sensor) these can be replaced although they tend to cost $100+ and you usually need to replace the front glass cover, as they are usually fused together. ifixit.com sells a lot of parts as well as full picture guides for many devices.

Thus, you can see the SD card as a removable drive in the recovery software, know more here: Android Data Recovery

Kyocera RIO 3100 how do I get pics and music off of my micro sd with this phone thanks

If you connect your cell phone to the computer and it detects the cell phone as an external storage device then you can download the pics and music to your computer.
The other way - remove the SD card from your cell phone and put the SD card into an USB memory card reader then connect the reader to your computer's USB port, the computer will see this as an external storage device, then you can copy the files to your computer.

I droped my phone on the floor everything still works but the sd card still has everything on it but the phone will not reboot the sd card it will not come on it says I need to put my sd card in...

The best thing for you to do is to put the sd card to your computer's card reader if there is any and copy the files to your local drive then format the SD card. Once formatted, try to put it back to your phone. If you dont have a memory card reader, you can just buy a USB memory card reader and plug it to your computer so that it will detect it as an external storage.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Accessing my music on my external sd on the lg prada

Double check the file format you have your music saved as. On some lg phones the media player will only read mp3 files. If they are stored as wma files they might not be readable by the phone. Also when you look at the memory card on your computer if the files are not stored under my music or music the phone wont be able to read them. Good Luck!
