CF Card failure - a bit different

Hi folks,

Just discovered this thread too…   this just happened to me at the weekend also. Thankfully  not a lot of data lost.

I will try the suggestions here, but wanted to know if it doesn’t work, are the cards knackered?  i.e… Completely useless, and we need to fork out more for new cards?

If so, any suggestions on brands - seems to me if SanDisk aren’t willing to address the issues, I am not prepared to give them any more of my hard earned cash.

Thanks
