Help!! Sd Card Not Seen By Device

Help! I have an XDA IIs which was working fine for the last two years. It has a 1GB SD Card in there. I used it for TomTom all this time, with no problems at all.
A couple of days ago, I forgot to grab my device from the car as I was in a rush and I left it in the car (powered off, but with TomTom running) most of the day.
When I got back in the car, TomTom wasn't working right so I closed it and tried to re-open it, whereupon I received the nasty message "Cannot determine location of data".
To put it simply, the device no longer recognises the presence of an SD Card! It's not in File Explorer, nor under Settings / Memory / Storage Card.
What is going on?
Here's a list of what I've tried already (none of these ideas has solved the issue):
o Tried a different SD Card
o Tried a soft reset on the device
o Tried a hard-reset on the device
o After hard-reset, tried a restore from a recent Active Sync backup-to-PC.
o Downloaded PocketPC Mechanic and played around A LITTLE (didn't do anything that seemed dangerous like defragging, registry cleaning, etc)
Any help will be VERY gratefully received!
Thanks
Matt
Update... but still have problem
Quick update
I also tried formatting the SD Card. No help (I have since copied all data back onto the card and it still doesn't work).

Apparently, the motherboard your device is dies slowly.
Have you tried a diifferent sd card? reinstalling the software all over again?
Replying to Rafa1215
Yes, I have tried a different SD Card (as noted in the original post, list of things I have tried). It's a 128MB one which works fine in the SD Card reader slot on my PC (my main 1GB card works fine in PC slot as well).
Here's a further titbit of information which may or may not be useful in helping me:
I've tried several times to restore the backup-to-PC I made at the end of April (essentially the same stuff on the device then as now, luckily). Normally, when you insert (or remove) the card, it turns the screen on. Each time I perform the restore (of the same backup, over and over again), the SD Card slot actually performs this function when I insert the card again - but ONLY ONCE each time I restore from backup.
As for reinstalling software all over again... I have performed a hard-reset on the device, and tried the card as soon as it is ready to use... no luck there either.
In reply to vovaxxxx:
Is that a serious comment? The motherboard slowly dies? If that's true then this device is fit for nothing but the rubbish bin!
More ideas are welcome please, I thank you for the feedback!!
If you're luck enough to have a friend that have a BA you could test his sd card on your BA and your sd card on his BA. If his BA can read your card and yours can't read his then you have 2 situations:
1) Your sd card slot is dirty or slightly melted so you have no good contacts, try to clean it.
2) Time to buy a new phone or try to buy a new circuit board for your phone but for the price I think is better you get a new phone.
Edit: If you have $100 you can get a new circuit board here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310283
search google for panasonic sd formatter or something like this, this is a lil program which is used to format your SD properly. Insert your SD card into the card reader, start the program and reformat the SD card.
The problem is within the SD card file system

If that doesn't work try
Storage Tools by softwinter.com
You can at least do a Scandisk and fix any errors during the scan
OK I formatted the SD card with the Panasonic formatting utility. (Backed everything up to the PC first, from the card!)
Still no difference. To reiterate - the SD Card(s) I am trying to use are working fine in my PC's SD Card reading slot.
I think it's the hardware (i.e. the XDA itself)... LGSilva says I could try cleaning the contacts. Any recommended ways on doing this? The slot is too small to get any kind of decent cleaning implement in there, and I can't dismantle the device because it's held together with special screws (6-pointed-star-shaped heads).
Hi
the company i work for has around 300 device and this happens every now and again. not sure if this will help but normally call our mobile network and get a replacement. it's normally the card reader in the device.

The screws are size 6 Torx bits, suitable sets of these drivers can be bought from Maplins in the UK, although you don't mention where you are located.
There is also a guide to taking the BA to bits in the WiKi and a very comprehensive one containing pictures etc. at the bottom of the WiKi page, well worth reading both before you try taking it to bits - Mike

Sim card contacts

I've upgraded my P3600 to WM6 (thanks to Lasagna). With WM5 I could see all the contacts, both stored in the phone and in the SIM Card. With WM6 I can only see the contacts i the phone but not the one onthe SIM Card.
How can I find them without copying them in the phone memory?
Thanks

SD card and Camera, not detecting

Hey guys,
I am running Schaps 4.22 on my JasJam and I can't seem to get it to save to my SD card when taking pictures. Originally I had put another SD card and the Camera software asked me if I would like to save to it, I set No. But now with my new card I go to the options and the only place is Main Memory or Network.
Thanks in advance and merry (late) xmas!

How to save text message and contacts in SD

Is there anyone can help me how to configure text message so i can save text message and contact in my SD or my UIM Card ?
ok, please don't tell me, you really have a UIM card, meaning, that you are on a CDMA network, then the entire other thread you opened was redundant, BECAUSE:
cdma devices of the general shape and outlooks of the blueangel are called harrier, meaning they cannot be upgraded with wm6 anyways.
but to come to your actual question. there is no way to store your contacts or sms on the sd card directly. they need to be stored in the phone. if however you are planning on making backup copies of your pim data to the sd card, to not lose the data in case of a hard reset, download -=PIM backup by DotFred=- and put the app on your sd card and make backups to the sd card, that way you always have all your data save in case you somehow should lose the device's storage's contents.

[Q] Issues with SD Card

Hi everyone,
I am having an issue with my SD card and hope someone can help.
I have bought an SD card for my HTC Desire HD. This is a Lexar (High-Speed) 32GB Micro SD-HC card. I have had this for around 3 months.
All has worked well until recently. I have been unable to sync and access anything on the card. For example, I use root explorer on the mobile to view all of the files within the SD card. This has worked previously, but recently hasn't. When I try to view the SD card files the app crashes.
Also, when I try to sync any files to the mobile using HTC sync, the sync seems to progress and complete according to my PC, but nothing seems to be available on the SD card. I tried to sync music files to the card, HTC sync carried the sync out to my phone, but nothing is showing when I use this with any music apps.
I am now constantly receiving messages on my mobile asking me to download my language pack again for my SMS application. I may also receive a message saying the SD card is read only, press here to fix. I have tried to press this and the SD card seems to be re-set but doesn't actually fix anything.
I have also tried to format the SD card through the phone. Have taken the SD card out of the phone and re-inserted this. Still no luck.
Does anyone have any idea as to what else I can possibly do or is this SD card basically become faulty and I'm going to have to replace this?
Any help and suggestions are much appreciated.
I think your SD card just became problematic, and maybe soon it will become unusable too. Maybe you should try replacing it if it still in warranty time. (life-time wrranty?).
sd card
Maybe your card is broken. You'd better buy a new one.
Have your tried to read your SD with your computer?
Lexar
I don't want to extrapolate from my Lexar SD Card to every other SD Card of the same brand, but my Lexar 16 GB class 6 card had a lifetime of roughly 3 months, too and then started to make problems. Coincidence..??
I had a case of total data loss including bad sectors etc...
Even reformatting at the PC and doing a chkdsk helped only for another few weeks, then the first bad sectors re-appeared.
I changed now to a SanDisk which was much cheaper and is faster anyway, despite the fact that it has no class XX defintion printed on. ;-)
But regular backup is your friend, anyway, nandroid and titanium saved my day, at least to 90% of the data.
cheers

Yeah, I can read the card on my PC. I try to add files manually on to the card (without HTC sync) this adds but when I try to view with the mobile and doesn't seem to show the file. I then try to read the card again and the file I have added has gone.
Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll buy a new card and go for sandisk. I'll try and find one with a good warranty or lifetime warranty. Anyone got examples of cards or suppliers who provide a lifetime warranty?
