    The same thing happens to mine anytime I take it out of my phone. What I do is keep it out and turn the phone off. Once the phone has shut down reinsert the SD card. Turn on your phone and let it reboot itself. When the phone is powered on and has scanned everything your information should be on your SD card.

    You should try plugging the charging cord (sorry I don't know proper terms) into the computer and phone and transfer all files from your phone to your computer just in case for future references..

    Another thing I do for important things I want on my phone is.. Set up a google email account and anytime I have something on my phone or SD card I really want like pics or anything I just send it to that gmail account for storage. Plus google has I think it's called google drive where you can store files and pics, so I also transfer things there as well..

    Hope this helps and your card starts working..
