SP 303 not reading banks C & D or memory card. Please Help!!

I have not used my SP 303 for about six months. I turned it on and I could not access banks C and D, which are the Memory Card banks. I was at my friends studio ready to use it, but this happened. I took it apart real quick, and everything was in working order. I didn't want to waste the studio time so I recorded into banks A and B on LoFi to save time. I had to play it live into my friends PC. This sucked because I always use the resampling method. I remember removing the card and trying to fit it into different card readers. I also opened up the box and used a air blower to get rid of dust. It looks clean, seems to work perfect with banks A & B. all the FX and stuff work. Is it the card? Please Help!!

The same thing happened to me the other week, my card has been fine since last June and then decided it needed to be formatted when I took it into a proper studio shit was mad embarrassing.

I think its just that these old cards can be temperamental and moving them around can cause issues, I've had quite a few floppy discs do the same thing with my MPC when being transported around.
