I'd reseat this even if it looks OK. It's easy to do and only takes about 5
seconds. Carefully spread the two white tabs on either side that hold the
card in. The card should spring up to around a 30 deg angle. Take it out,
look at it, whatever, then re-insert it into the slot at the same angle, the
push it down to snap it in place. If it won't snap in place easily, make sure
everything is aligned.

Or buy SBM Utils and gain the ability to do card to card backups. That's what
I did.
