If the lock switch is in the open position, it usually means the flash is in a permanent read-only state. When the lifetime of the flash is close to being used up, this is a safety feature to preserve the data as reading doesn't do much harm to the card, if any at all. They allow this as a means to move the data, at most. ***Be glad it acted this way, since a lot of cheap cards which do not self lock tend to fail and take out whatever is on the card. Having to buy a card on short notice is far from ideal sure but I want a chance to save what's on it.***

If you want to try and see if it can be fixed, backup the card to a PC, and then format it in the camera and see. In most cases, the flash is end of life.

If the lock switch is in the open position, it usually means the flash is in a permanent read-only state. When the lifetime of the flash is close to being used up, that is perfectly normal behavior on a quality card.

If the lock switch is in the open position, it usually means the flash is tired, and went into a permanent read-only protection mode. I’d backup the card to a PC, and then format it in the camera and see but most of the time when that happens the SD card is EOL.
