Device wont read my SD card
So one morning like as soon as i woke up i checked my tablet and saw that my apps that are in my sd card are booting up like theyre not ready to open yet, if you know what i mean. So i just thought its normal until it didnt go away so after a few minutes i got worried and the apps are still not working. So i took out the sd card slot out and reinserted it and restarted my tablet, and when my tablet woke up again now my sim card isnt working, so i thought of cleaning both the sd card and sim card, so i grabbed a paper towel and just gently cleaned both of them being careful not to apply too much pressure, and i put it back in the slot and rebooted my tablet but now the sim card is working but the sd card isnt. I asked chat gpt for help and it said that the card is corrupted or something but i need help because this doesnt happen overnight and wakin up to find your sd card isnt working. I hope you guys could help me Thank you very much
