MicroSD card works on laptop but not on brand new phone, phone works with other card.
The card is a SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB. I've had it for at least a year with no issues. A few days ago it stopped reading on my Note 9, which was a little cracked, so I thought it was an issue with the phone itself. But the behavior persisted to the new phone (note 20u). So I popped it into an SD adaptor to check to see if my laptop would read it, and it does. I was able to copy my files, scan for errors without any found, and reformat it (exFAT), none of which resolved the issue. I tried a different microSD card in the new phone and it works. I don't see any physical damage to the card, so I'm really puzzled as to why two different phones aren't picking up this one card. I couldn't find anything specific on Google, and was wondering if anyone had seen anything similar. Thanks.

Try reformatting to FAT32 and check it out?
Doesn't seem to be an option since it's greater than 32GB. It was already formatted to exFAT, and NTFS didn't work either.
