Hello, my steam deck doesent detect SD Card, i tried booting into live linux image on my laptop and tried accessing it from pc, from linux and windows but nothing happens... seems like SD card issue.. but its weird because the sd card is 5 days old and brand new....
i tried those commands sudo lsblk -d /dev/mmcblk* sudo blkid /dev/mmcblk* sudo e2fsck -n -f /dev/mmcblk0p1 grep mmcblk /etc/fstab sudo journalctl -b | grep -E 'mmcblk|steamos-automount'
below is what it says
(1)(deck@steamdeck ~)$ sudo lsblk -d /dev/mmcblk*
sudo blkid /dev/mmcblk*
sudo e2fsck -n -f /dev/mmcblk0p1
grep mmcblk /etc/fstab
sudo journalctl -b | grep -E 'mmcblk|steamos-automount'
[sudo] password for deck:

Possibly non-existent device?

Hi, it seems that the filesystem of the sdcard got corrupted, the quickest solution is to format it again from Steam. If you want to try to fix it manually then insert the card, wait for a few seconds, unmount the drive:
sudo umount /run/media/deck/SD512
And then run this:
sudo e2fsck -vf /dev/mmcblk0p1
After this you should be able to use the card again, but depending on the error some of the files could be corrupted, that's why I say that formatting the card is the quickest solution if you can download the contents again.

Thx for the reply.. but I cant even format it ... it doesent get detected ...i cant even format it in windows in diskpart it doesent get detected
Hmmm... the logs that you pasted show that the card is detected:

Aug 20 11:19:54 steamdeck kernel: mmcblk0: p1
What do you see under Steam -> Settings -> Storage ?

It seems like the sd card get detected for like 1 sec and then unmounts
lsblk -d /dev/mmc* should tell you if it's detected and if it's mounted (the MOUNTPOINTS column). If so then unmount it first (using the command I gave you earlier, note that it's umount, without N, and not unmount) and then run e2fsck.
If lsblk shows nothing then I need the output of sudo journalctl -b | grep -E 'mmc|block-device|steamos-automount'

This suggests that there is a physical problem with the card, you said ealier that you tried to use it from Linux and Windows without success so it sounds like it's damaged.
Do you have another SD card that you can try on your deck to see if the same problem happens?

Hi, no I did not eject it. And yeah other sd cards are working. Its a brand new sd

Then it looks like it's defective.
