If anyone knows how to fix a corrupt SD card would be awesome I can't use it at all it is unlock when I try to format it but it doesn't work now. The card is a sandisk SDHC 32Gb ultra and it's about a week old was working and now it's not I really don't want to buy a new one

What device are you using to read the card?
And what error is it producing.

If you can't get it to work via the above suggestions or using a different device to read the card then return it to where you bought it from.
