1410461 2015-10-26 04:24:00 Hi All.
I have a Lexor SDHC flash drive, 16GB. It is write protected, how do I remove the protection so that I can format it & use it again?. Yes it IS mine. PJ

If there are no tabs, then its possible the drive "may" have failed ( it happens) :(

Edit: Wainui beat me, probably while I was retyping mine. Stupid caps lock.
