This short tutorial will show you how to insert or remove an SD card from a Galaxy Tab A. Check out the steps below to get started.
How to insert SD card on Galaxy Tab A
When inserting an SD card, be sure that your tablet is off first. Then, follow the rest of the steps below.
- Prepare the SD card.
- Turn off your Galaxy Tab A. This is important. Inserting an SD card while the device is on may result to corrupted data.
- With your phone’s screen facing you, remove the card tray. You can use a insertion/removal tool (or a paperclip) to unlock the tray by inserting it into the provided slot. This small hole should be visible on the left part of your device.
- Put the SD card into the tray (gold contacts facing down). The card should fit snugly in the slot. If the metallic contacts are visible to you, or if the card seems to move, you’re not doing it right. Ensure the card fits into place.
- Insert the card tray (gold contacts facing down).
- Press in on the tray to lock it into place.
- That’s it! Turn on your Galaxy Tab A and see if it now detects your SD card.
