Tablet suddenly showing 'no SD card inserted' although I have had a
32Gig card there for some time without any apparent problem.
I have not been able to reinsert the card so that it is recognised.
Any ideas?

Most likely the card is defect. Without removing it and testing it in
another device you will never find out.
the power switch on my Lenovo tablet went bad (a mechanical problem I
haven't yet figured out how to solve permanently, although temp
solutions involving shims worked for a while)

I think you're right. I tried it in my pc slot, but got nowt. I'm not
prepared to put my mobile in danger by putting it in there,
For a fiver, it's not worth the risk.
I'm not sure I really need it as my tablet performs perfectly well
without it.
Did you have anything stored on it that you actually use? I keep books
on mine. If I were going to keep photos on the tablet/phone I'd use
that, but I just dump those to my computer and delete them from the phone.
It's hard to understand how cards go bad, but apparently they do. OTOH,
the power switch on my Lenovo tablet went bad (a mechanical problem I
haven't yet figured out how to solve permanently, although temp
solutions involving shims worked for a while),
but I wouldn't put it
past Lenovo to cheap out where they can.

The little plastic tit that actually connects to the switch seems to
have worn down so that it no longer reaches the metal thing it's
supposed to activate. I took it apart and put some cellophane in as
a shim, and it worked a few times. I put more in and it worked a
few times more.
Sort of like the cheesy plastic part on the nice Ryobi weed whacker
that wears out and won't reach the microwswitch that activates the
REAL switch. Really annoying when brand-name stuff has such cheesy
failure modes.
The power switch on one of my past tablets went bad in that it
took several pushes to get it to turn on or off (sleep). So I just
left it turned on all the time and used an app called Screen Black
to black out the screen when I wasn't using it. It worked fine and
I used it that way for several months. To turn it 'on' I just
swiped up from the bottom of the black screen and hit the home
screen icon. And I was also surprised that I really didn't notice
all that much difference in the time between battery charges...
I thought of that, but it's months between uses and it just makes me uncomfortable to have something running all the time and not being
used, especially these batteries.
When the screen blacks out swiping does nothing, but the little
magnet in the cover will unblank the screen.
I may try to put a sturdier shim in, but I really hate taking those
tiny screws out even if I have all the proper tools.
I wish I had a horizontal surface on which to put one of those nice
blue silicone pads with all the cubbyholes instead of putting a
cookie pan in my lap.

One of my recent Android tablet acquisitions turns
on (unsleep) by moving it and I got an app to turn it off, so I never
have to touch the physical switch.
How do you turn it back on?
