Sometimes a flashcard stop working. depending on the Age of the card. they do have a finite amount of reads and writes. its like and SSD if there are too many bad memory cells on the chip and it can get enough errors or bad cells to the point you cannot format it. if you have a PC and have a reader for the card you can try to format it as Fat32, if that fails get a new flash card. if you are using a CF card or the Sony Memory Pro card
