Both cameras are out of action

I dropped my camcorder and it is in for repairs. The zoom ring was knocked out of round so zooming is no longer smooth. Grabs and releases, affecting the smooth recording.
This morning I arose early for a possible sunrise photo opportunity. When I turned the camera on - “no memory card” appeared.
Card was there. I have gone through all the easy fixes, nothing worked.
Do I buy a new card and hope that is the issue. I do not want to buy another camera. The camcorder takes stills.
No idea how long the repair to the camcorder is going to take. It has been at the shop for 8 days now, no follow up as yet.

These are the irritations of life that can spoil the day. I try to remember that with patience it will resolve itself, but its easier for me to tell you that than for me to accept it!

@FreddieUK Issue resolved. Bought a new card and all is well 🙂

@Gusman Thanks. If I'd have bothered to read your earlier reply I needn't have wasted your time 😄 Perhaps we'll see some of the results in due course on here.
