SD card not showing

I finally got the case off the "new" S5 and put in the SD card. I fired up the phone again, but it didn't show. Then I took the card out and put it in the other slot, but still no dice. I made sure the contacts were down and they looked good. What could possibly have gone wrong now?
 
I didn't mention that the card is that 256 gb that I was using in the last S5. It worked OK but not now. I tried safe mode, which was no help. Also, the phone's getting kind of warm without being charged.
 
I just took the Sunzos battery out, put it back in, and the phone wouldn't boot. No, I didn't get it wet or spill anything on it. On a hunch, I substituted an official Samsung battery and it works. It's low but claims to be charging.
 
Oops, it did it again. This time the Samsung battery fell out because I had the cover off for obvious reasons. The phone stopped working again. I put the Samsung battery in the "oldest" S5 and now IT'S apparently charging ok with the new, official Samsung charger. What the heck is going on here?
