External SD card issues

I use the SD card frequently to backup and reload data. (Sng and pcg files). Suddenly all my SD cards are indicating a write protect status even though I have not moved the physical switch on the card or have done anything else to cause this. The same cards inserted into other devices are not showing as write protected. I upgraded to 1.0.4 just in case that would fix this but no change. Any ideas? I have 2. Krome 73s. The same cards work fine on the second keyboard. Btw I own 2 of these because when I only had one there were reliability issues and missed a couple of gigs due to breakdowns.

I would say the mechanical pen-switch in the SD=slot, that detect the [write protect] switch on SD card hangs or went defective.
Try insert/eject few dozen times fast with write protect switch on/off in/out the SD-slot to fix/reseat/release the stuck pen mechanism inside.
If that doesn't fix then something is broken/defective inside that SD slot.

I have the same issue.
No idea how to fix it.
Frustrating!
