Problems with Lexar warranty support

5 years 15 hours ago #640807 by Amy Porter
I had a Lexar SD card fail on me and become corrupt in November 2018.  I reached out to Lexar as I couldn't get the card to be recognized by camera.  Even after re-formating the card.  I've been waiting for a replacement for a long time!  I've been told they are short on inventory and will get the new card shipped out to me. But wonder what year they will send this off.  Jeez what a pain. 

What cards are you using?

Aside from continuing to bug them, get a Sandisk card to replace it.

Lexar got out of the business in 2017, and the company you're dealing may not be the company that made the card. They might not be very motivated to help you.

Lexar isn't still in business.  They likely don't have inventory.  

Go with Sandisk.

Lexar came back, much smaller with less $$.  They likely don't have the staff.

 That’s why I don’t use anything but SanDisk.   Sorry for Lexar, however there is no comparison imo.

When I moved my operation to digital I was suggested
Sandisk and went for it too… no regrets there. In retro-
spect, though, Lexar developed nicer readers and their
difficulties were not foreseeable at the time.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Lexar cards aren't bad, I have a 64GB and 32GB SD card. They work good, now full disclosure, I do use my Sandisk cards a lot more. No issues though.
