hmmm.  I had a similar thing happen.  I put an SD card in that I had been
carrying around in my pocket (in the sd case) and then put the battery in,
and exactly the same thing happened.  I tried to format, and it blinked
forever. Then said card full.

I put the card into a reader, and it would not boot.

I loaded another card, (this time the battery was in)  and everything was
cool.  The card is still futzed, but the second card works great.
