Any way to bypass write protection?

I broke the lock slider thing that either locks or unlocks your SD Card. Is there any program or anything that can bypass that? Because I can't take out or put anything in my SD Card.

That's a hardware switch. I don't think there's a way to unlock it with hacks or any other software means. It's doing what it's designed to do, prevent writing...

Unless there is a hack that I missed. I didn't look very hard.

Re: Any way to bypass write protection?

a quick search (32MB-SD-Card | Flickr - Photo Sharing!) tells me that the locking switch is only evaluated by the card reader which means, theoretically, the card can still be written to if you find a card reader that ignores the position of the switch. I don't know if this theoretical fact is actually useful though, as it would probably depend on altering the firmware or software of your card reader.

alternatively, I found what appears to be a fix (How to Fix a Broken Lock on SD Cards: 5 steps - wikiHow) for a broken SD card lock. You might try it out and see if it works (and then probably buy a new, not-broken SD card once you get the files off the broken one).
