Help Not reading SD card

[taekwondo4ever]

My friend's Epic/PC will not pick up his micro SD card. I told him to try what it said in the manual to reformat it, but the problem is that the phone will not even read the card in the first place. Do you think the card has died already?

My wife got her Epic yesterday and it's "lost" the sd card twice. Popping it out and putting it back in fixes things, but 2 more times and the phones goes back for replacement. Add to it that the phone has done 3 direct to voicemail calls while in range of our airave, something my Moment never does. This was one of her complaints about the Pre that the Epic replaced. The bloom could be off the Epic rose in record time.
