SD Card Issue

I've had the phone for 4 days. Last night I put phone on charger and the phone was normal. Wake up this morning and all of a sudden I have an icon on top left corner with an exclamation point. I open to see what it is and it says "Blank SD Card". All my ringtones and notifications seem to be gone and I have no access to them. I go to settings and click SD Card and Phone settings and it shows that my storage information is unavailable.

I took battery and card out and tried rebooting and still it seems to be unrecognized.

Not sure what the heck happened while I was asleep but now I can't figure out why it's doing this.

Have others had this issue and if so is there a setting I need to fix or should I just assume that its defective and now I gotta deal with some jerk at verizon?

Did you have it plugged into your computer? Did you unplug it when something was transferring to the card? Looks like you have to reformat the SD card. You can take the card out to see it there is any damage to the metal part. As for Verizon CS, I've never had a problem with them. More than likely if you call them they will grant you a new device.

I didn't mean to say verizon jerk cause they usually are helpful. I just don't want to have to deal with them and I'm just a little PO'd because I'm already having issues.

Anywho, I have never once plugged this into a computer yet and I did nothing special last night before I went to bed. I simply plugged it into the charger and that was that.

Not sure how any damage could have been done to it. Wasn't near water and I didn't drop the phone or do anything out of the ordinary. I guess i can take it out look at it again.

If you go into Settings > SD card, unmount the SD card and then turn off your phone. Take out the SD card, pull out the battery and hold the power button to get rid of any residual power. Reinsert the SD card and battery then power on your phone. See if that works. If that doesn't work, do a factory reset. In the event you have to call Verizon, they will ask you to do all of this anyway, this way you will be on and off the phone with them.
